Population of interest: Wave 1 youth (12–17, N=8,873) and young adults (18–24, N=1,455) who never used any tobacco at Wave 1; estimates weighted using W2 longitudinal weights

Restricted to those with Wave (W) 1 internalizing problem data

‡‡

Restricted to those with W1 externalizing problem data

a

Percentages (%)s represent the prevalence of Wave 1 lifetime mental health problems

b

Percentages (%)s and standard errors (SE)s represent the prevalence of new tobacco use between W1 and W2 by W1 lifetime mental health problems

c

Adjusted Odds Ratios (AOR)s and 95% confidence intervals (CI)s indicate the odds of new tobacco use between W1 and W2 as a function of lifetime mental health problems; adjusted for age group (12–17 vs. 18–24), gender, race, ethnicity, ever any substance use at W1, and other mental health problems at W1 (i.e., internalizing problems analyses adjusted for externalizing problems, and externalizing problems analyses adjusted for internalizing problems) Statistically significant associations at p<0.05 indicated in bold text

d

Indicates significant age interaction at p<0.05

e

Includes snus pouches, smokeless tobacco excluding snus pouches, and dissolvables

Excludes those aged 17 or older at W1

Model did not run

Estimate has been suppressed because it is statistically unreliable. It is based on a (denominator) sample size of less than 50, or the coefficient of variation of the estimate (or its complement) is larger than 30 percent.
