This study described cigarette and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDs) use and their demographic and psychosocial correlates in a sample of sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents assigned male at birth.
One-way ANOVA, multivariate linear regression, and correlation analyses were conducted to examine correlates of cigarettes/ENDs use on 159 SGM adolescent users, ages 15-18.
Fifty-three percent of the sample used cigarettes/ENDs, with differences based on sexual orientation: bisexual, pansexual, and queer adolescents used ENDs more than gay adolescents. White adolescents smoked more cigarettes than adolescents of color, independent of ENDs use. Regarding psychosocial correlates, alcohol use and depression were associated with greater daily cigarette use, while sexual orientation identity was associated with greater daily ENDs use.
This study characterized frequency and psychosocial correlates of cigarettes/ENDs use among SGM adolescents. Findings highlighted several risk factors for tobacco use and will inform future interventions for SGM adolescents.
本研究描述了在一组出生时被指定为男性的性少数群体和性别少数群体（SGM）青少年中，香烟和电子尼古丁输送系统（ENDS）的使用情况及其与人口统计学和心理社会因素的关系。
采用单因素方差分析、多元线性回归和相关分析，对 159 名年龄在 15-18 岁的 SGM 青少年使用者进行了香烟/ENDS 使用的相关性研究。
该样本中有 53%的人使用香烟/ENDS，且根据性取向存在差异：双性恋、泛性恋和酷儿青少年比同性恋青少年更多地使用 END。白人青少年比有色人种青少年吸烟更多，而不论是否使用 END。在心理社会因素方面，酒精使用和抑郁与更大的每日香烟使用量有关，而性取向认同与更大的每日 END 使用量有关。
本研究描述了 SGM 青少年中香烟/ENDS 使用的频率和心理社会相关因素。研究结果突出了烟草使用的几个风险因素，并将为未来针对 SGM 青少年的干预措施提供信息。
