Note.

a

= OR and 95% CI are based on mixed-effect logistic regression model with person-specific random intercept and adjustment (fixed effect) for wave, age, sex, race, parental education, secondhand exposure to cigarettes, e-cigarettes or cannabis.

b

= Sensitivity Analysis 1: Restricted to participants without any concurrent cigarette and/or cannabis use in the past 30 days.

c

= Sensitivity Analysis 2: Participants were included if they participated in both wave 1 and wave 2, adjusted additionally for concurrent cigarette and/or cannabis use.

d

= Sensitivity Analysis 3: Participants who reported no history of physician diagnosed asthma at wave 1, adjusted additionally for concurrent cigarette and/or cannabis use.
