Vaping nicotine and marijuana have been increasing among adolescents in the past 5 years. Tetrahydrocannabinol is the psychoactive cannabinoid in marijuana. The COVID-19 pandemic created gaps in healthcare access and visits, making it difficult to collect accurate data on adolescent vaping, willingness to quit and methods used to quit. In addition, the literature lacks information regarding effective evidence-based treatment measures for adolescents who vape. In this report, we seek to address this using two patient cases and detailing the interventions a managed care organisation enacted during this timeframe. Our investigation revealed a relationship between social stressors and vaping among teens. Addressing these underlying stressors and eliciting and treating mental health symptoms and polysubstance use appears to be critical to curbing vaping.
在过去的 5 年中,青少年吸食尼古丁和大麻的现象有所增加。四氢大麻酚是大麻中的精神活性大麻素。COVID-19 大流行导致医疗保健机会和就诊出现缺口,难以准确收集青少年吸食电子烟、戒烟意愿和戒烟方法的数据。此外,文献中缺乏有关电子烟青少年有效循证治疗措施的信息。在本报告中,我们使用两个患者病例来解决这个问题,并详细介绍了在此期间管理式医疗组织所采取的干预措施。我们的调查发现,青少年中社会压力源与吸食电子烟之间存在关联。解决这些潜在压力源,以及发现和治疗心理健康症状和多物质使用问题,对于遏制吸食电子烟似乎至关重要。
