Adjusted for: Gender, age group, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, education, income and smoking status.

Significant differences between groups are noted by:

(a)

higher percentage of decreased risk perceptions among e-cigarette non-users at Wave 1 who become users vs. stay non-users at Wave 2 (p<0.001)

(b)

higher percentage of increased risk perceptions among e-cigarette non-users at Wave 1 who stayed non-users vs. became users at Wave 2 (p<0.001)

(c)

higher percentage of increased risk perceptions among e-cigarette users at Wave 1 who become non-users vs. stay users at Wave 2 (p<0.001)

(d)

higher percentage of no change in risk perceptions among e-cigarette users at Wave 1 who stayed users at Wave 2 vs. became non-users at Wave 2 (p<0.001)

(e)

higher percentage of no change in risk perceptions among hookah non-users at Wave 1 who stayed non-users at Wave 2 vs. became users at Wave 2 (p=0.03)

(f)

higher precentage of increases in risk perceptions among hookah users at Wave 1 who stayed users at Wave 2 vs. became non-users at Wave 2 (p=0.03).
