Examine tobacco use on college campuses by assessing: (1) types of tobacco products used, (2) where they are most commonly used, and (3) the sociodemographic characteristics of students most likely to use on campus. Participants were a convenience sample of 3,575 18- to 25-year-old enrolled in 14 Texas colleges during Spring 2021 who used at least one tobacco product in the past 30-days. Over 60% of participants used tobacco on their campus, and among these, nearly 93% used electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) on campus. Common campus locations for tobacco use included outdoors (85.0%), dormitories (53.9%), and bathrooms (44.5%). Older young adults, males, those from a college with a partial tobacco policy, and current ENDS users were more likely than their peers to have ever used tobacco on campus. Tobacco use on college campuses is common, underscoring the need for enhanced monitoring and enforcement of tobacco-free policies.
(1)所使用的烟草产品类型;(2)最常使用烟草的地点;(3)校园中最有可能使用烟草的学生的社会人口学特征。参与者是2021年春季在德克萨斯州14所大学就读的3575名18至25岁学生的便利样本,他们在过去30天内至少使用过一种烟草产品。超过60%的参与者在校园内使用烟草,其中近93%在校园内使用电子尼古丁传送系统(ENDS)。校园内常见的烟草使用地点包括户外(85.0%)、宿舍(53.9%)和卫生间(44.5%)。年龄较大的年轻人、男性、来自有部分烟草政策大学的学生以及当前的ENDS使用者比同龄人更有可能在校园内使用过烟草。大学校园中的烟草使用很普遍,这凸显了加强无烟政策监测和执行的必要性。
