| Youth (TATAMS) Initiationa | Young Adults (M-PACT) Initiationb | |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted OR (95% CI) (n = 2288)c | Adjusted OR (95% CI) (n = 2423) | |
| TV | 1.08 (0.77–1.53) | 1.29 (1.03–1.63)* |
| Radio or online radio | 1.24 (0.76–2.01) | 0.99 (0.77–1.27) |
| Billboards | 1.30 (0.89–1.91) | 1.10 (0.87–1.41) |
| Retail stores | 1.99 (1.25–3.17)* | 1.30 (1.05–1.61)* |
| Internet | 0.85 (0.61–1.18) | 1.20 (0.97–1.48) |
CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
Adjusted for baseline sex, race and/or ethnicity, grade level, past-30-day or current other tobacco use, sensation seeking, and peer ENDS use. The following were significant: race and/or ethnicity (white or other race versus African American [OR = 2.13; 95% CI: 1.33–3.41]; white or other race versus Hispanic [OR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.03–1.86]), grade level (eighth versus sixth grade [OR = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.04–4.61]; 10th versus sixth grade [OR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.05–5.19]), and ENDS use of a close peer [OR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.14–1.99]).
Adjusted for baseline sex, race and/or ethnicity, age, college type, current other tobacco use, sensation seeking, and peer ENDS use. The following were significant: current other tobacco use (OR = 5.64; 95% CI: 4.24–7.49), sensation seeking (OR = 1.37; 95% CI: 1.17–1.60), and ENDS use of a close peer (OR = 1.37; 95% CI: 1.21–1.56).
This sample generalizes back to a population of 357 949 youth in the 4 cities in 5 counties where youth were sampled for this study.
