f

OR from repeated binary logistic regression model predicting respective outcome from baseline ever e-cigarette use status (yes/no) including school fixed effects.

g

OR from repeated ordinal logistic regression model predicting respective outcome from baseline ever e-cigarette use status (yes/no) including school fixed effects, with the OR reflecting the change in odds of being in a category with use of one or more tobacco products (3 vs. ≤2; ≥2 vs. ≤1, ≥1 vs. 0) associated with the covariate/regressor.

h

Interaction term added in subsequent model; parameter estimates for other regressors/covariates are from model excluding the interaction term.

i

Prevalance of combustible tobacco use outcomes at follow-ups by status on the categorical covariates can be found in eTable 2.

j

Continuous covariates rescaled (M=0, SD=1), such that the ORs indicate the change in odds in the outcome associated with an increase in one standard deviation unit on the covariate continuous scale. CESD = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. TCI = Temperament and Character Inventory.
