Aims And Methods: A sample of 2622 youth and young adults ages 15-24 were recruited through social media advertisements and completed an online survey.
Introduction: Studies show that tobacco use among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations is disproportionately higher than heterosexual or cisgender populations. However, few studies have examined tobacco use among SGM subgroups by race/ethnicity or associations between SGM-specific discrimination and connection to SGM identity and tobacco use.
Methods: This study analysed survey data from 11 313 SGM (gay, lesbian, bisexual, other sexual minority or gender minority) young adults in the USA and reported current cigarette, e-cigarette, other tobacco (cigar, smokeless tobacco, hookah) and polytobacco use.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between smokeless tobacco (SLT) initiation and the usage of social media and video games among young males aged 11-16, focusing on data collected from a survey during a prevention campaign in 2016 and follow-up surveys.
- - Findings reveal that higher social media use correlates with an increased risk of SLT initiation, while more frequent video gaming is linked to a decreased risk, suggesting that video games might play a protective role.
- - The authors emphasize the need for further research to understand why gaming appears to protect against SLT initiation and whether monitoring social media usage by parents could help reduce its negative consequences.
