Previous research links bullying victimization with the use of illicit substances in adolescence. In addition, recent research has linked bullying victimization with vaping. Very limited research, however, has explored how different forms of bullying may be linked with nicotine and marijuana vaping specifically.
This study addresses this gap in the literature by utilizing logistic regression to examine the relationships between verbal, physical, and cyber bullying victimization and nicotine and marijuana vaping in a sample of Florida adolescents.
Our findings reveal that all three forms of bullying victimization are linked with recent nicotine vaping, and these associations differ somewhat by youth gender. In addition, our findings indicate that cyber bullying victimization is linked with marijuana vaping.
In conclusion, our findings suggest that bullying victimization is linked with greater odds of vaping activity in adolescents. The implications of these findings for future research and policy are discussed.
先前的研究将受欺凌与青少年滥用非法物质联系起来。此外，最近的研究还将受欺凌与吸电子烟联系起来。然而，非常有限的研究探讨了不同形式的欺凌如何与尼古丁和大麻吸电子烟具体相关。
本研究通过利用逻辑回归来检验佛罗里达州青少年样本中言语、身体和网络欺凌受害与尼古丁和大麻吸电子烟之间的关系，从而填补了这一文献空白。
我们的研究结果表明，所有三种形式的欺凌受害都与最近的尼古丁吸电子烟有关，而且这些关联在青少年性别上略有不同。此外，我们的研究结果表明，网络欺凌受害与大麻吸电子烟有关。
总之，我们的研究结果表明，欺凌受害与青少年吸电子烟的几率增加有关。这些研究结果对未来的研究和政策具有重要意义。
