Table displays results of multinomial regression analysis for latent class membership (N = 2122; “straight-line” class excluded, N = 115). Relative risk ratios reflect the multivariable adjusted relative increase in probability of being part of a given latent class (compared to “no preference” class) associated with each row characteristic (compared to the reference row).
Includes Pacific Islander/Hawaii Native.
Includes American Indian/Alaska Native, Middle Eastern/North African, prefer not to answer, “other,” and more than one race.
Highest reported educational attainment of either father/male guardian or mother/female guardian.
Reference category is product specific; for example, non-use of combustible tobacco (0 days in past 30 days) is the reference category for past 30-day combustible tobacco use (≥1 day in the past 30 days).
Includes cigarettes, cigars, and/or hookah.
Includes moist snuff, chewing tobacco, snus, nicotine pouches, and/or nicotine tablets/lozenges.
Includes combustible, aerosolized, edible, and/or other modalities of cannabis (marijuana) consumption Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; RRR = relative risk ratio.
