Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) of the association between current tobacco use and harm perceptions were calculated using multivariable logistic regression with predicted marginals. Models adjusted for sex (male, female); school level (middle school, high school), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic other), current (past 30-day) use of other tobacco products (cigars, cigarillos or little cigars; bidis; roll-your own; pipe tobacco; dissolvables), and tobacco use by a household member (yes, no).
