Timely and relevant data are critical to monitoring the rapidly changing youth vaping epidemic and for understanding the prevalence, patterns of use, knowledge, and perceptions of tobacco products. While e-cigarettes have been the most used tobacco product among youth for nearly a decade, new nicotine delivery products continue to be introduced to the US market. Flavored tobacco products, including flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes, and flavored cigars, drive disparities in use by young people.
To examine tobacco use among youth and young adults, the Monitoring E-Cigarette Use among Youth project established a longitudinal cohort of youth and young adults (13-24)-the Tobacco Epidemic Evaluation Network (TEEN+) study. TEEN+ focuses on e-cigarette and other tobacco products use and also includes questions about other substance use (eg, marijuana, alcohol), physical health, mental health, and social determinants of health (eg, discrimination, poverty, sexual and gender identity). Geocoding of responses allows for the evaluation of local tobacco control policies. The cohort includes an oversample of California residents to generate reliable and representative state-level estimates. This manuscript provides an overview of methods and baseline demographics from Wave 1.
The initial Wave 1 TEEN+ cohort included 10 255 in the national sample and 2761 in the California sample.
TEEN+ study data complement nationally-representative cross-sectional studies and allow for rapid evaluation of local and state policies. This manuscript describes the study's probability-based sample recruitment. Furthermore, we identify this initiative as a resource for evaluating the impact of flavored tobacco restriction policies and informing policy implementation efforts.

及时且相关的数据对于监测迅速变化的青少年电子烟流行情况以及了解烟草产品的流行程度、使用模式、知识和认知至关重要。近十年来，电子烟一直是青少年中使用最广泛的烟草产品，但新的尼古丁递送产品仍不断进入美国市场。包括调味电子烟、薄荷醇香烟和调味雪茄在内的调味烟草产品加剧了年轻人使用烟草方面的差异。
为了研究青少年和青年成年人中的烟草使用情况，青少年电子烟使用监测项目建立了一个青少年和青年成年人（13 - 24岁）的纵向队列——烟草流行评估网络（TEEN+）研究。TEEN+关注电子烟和其他烟草产品的使用，还包括有关其他物质使用（如大麻、酒精）、身体健康、心理健康以及健康的社会决定因素（如歧视、贫困、性取向和性别认同）的问题。对回答进行地理编码有助于评估当地的烟草控制政策。该队列包括加利福尼亚居民的过采样，以生成可靠且具有代表性的州级估计数据。本文提供了第1波的方法概述和基线人口统计学信息。
TEEN+队列的初始第1波全国样本包括10255人，加利福尼亚样本包括2761人。
TEEN+研究数据补充了具有全国代表性的横断面研究，并允许对地方和州政策进行快速评估。本文描述了该研究基于概率的样本招募情况。此外，我们将这一举措视为评估调味烟草限制政策影响并为政策实施工作提供信息的资源。
本文概述了一个新的青少年和青年成年人纵向队列——烟草流行评估网络（TEEN+）研究的方法和基线特征。TEEN+研究数据可用于评估调味烟草产品限制政策的影响并为政策实施工作提供信息。
