Prior research has showed that parent combustible cigarette use predicts cigarette use among their offspring. This study used prospective longitudinal data from parents and offspring to test whether parent electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) use predicted a higher probability of ENDS use among their offspring.
Data were drawn from the Seattle Social Development Project - The Intergenerational Project (SSDP-TIP). Analyses included 295 families; 7% of parents were Native American/Alaskan Native, 18% were Asian American, 28% were African American, and 47% were European American. Multilevel modeling (in 2020) of data collected in 2015, 2016, and 2017 tested associations between parent self-reported ENDS use and concurrent self-reported ENDS use among offspring ages 10-25 years (53% female). Parent combustible cigarette use was controlled. Analyses also examined the role of parent and offspring perceptions of the safety of ENDS in predicting offspring ENDS use.
About 12% of offspring and 8% of parents reported past-month ENDS use. Parent ENDS use predicted a higher probability of child ENDS use (Odds Ratio 5.68, p = .01), even after controlling parent past month cigarette use. Beyond parent nicotine product use, offspring perceptions of ENDS safety - but not parent perceptions of ENDS safety - contributed independently to offspring probability of past-month ENDS use.
It is important for parents, health providers, and policymakers to focus on preventing ENDS use among offspring of parents who use ENDS.
先前的研究表明，父母吸烟会预测其子女吸烟。本研究使用来自父母和子女的前瞻性纵向数据，检验父母使用电子烟是否会增加其子女使用电子烟的可能性。
数据来自西雅图社会发展项目-代际项目（SSDP-TIP）。分析包括 295 个家庭；7%的父母为美洲原住民/阿拉斯加原住民，18%的父母为亚裔美国人，28%的父母为非裔美国人，47%的父母为欧裔美国人。使用 2015 年、2016 年和 2017 年收集的数据进行多层次模型（2020 年）分析，检验父母自我报告的电子烟使用与 10-25 岁子女同期自我报告的电子烟使用之间的关联（53%为女性）。控制了父母吸烟的情况。分析还检验了父母和子女对电子烟安全性的看法在预测子女使用电子烟方面的作用。
约 12%的子女和 8%的父母报告过去一个月使用过电子烟。父母使用电子烟会增加子女使用电子烟的可能性（优势比 5.68，p=0.01），即使控制了父母过去一个月的吸烟情况。除了父母使用尼古丁产品之外，子女对电子烟安全性的看法——而不是父母对电子烟安全性的看法——独立地影响子女过去一个月使用电子烟的可能性。
对于父母、卫生保健提供者和政策制定者来说，关注预防使用电子烟的父母的子女使用电子烟是很重要的。
