Mean ratings of the chance of each outcome happening when using ENDS either daily or occasionally are shown (0 = No Chance, 6 = Very Good Chance). Asterisks indicate significant associations between MHC status and outcome expectations, as determined by weighted ANCOVAs, controlling for gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, and income.
