Article Synopsis
- The research highlights that the prevalence of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) among young adults matches that of traditional cigarettes, indicating a need for tailored prevention strategies that address specific risk and protective factors (RPFs) for each.
- Using data from the Community Youth Development Study involving over 4,000 participants, the study explores how general protective factors and substance-specific RPFs influence young adult use of both cigarettes and ENDS from early adolescence to young adulthood.
- Findings reveal that while general protective factors can indirectly affect young adult nicotine use, targeted interventions focusing on cigarette-specific beliefs and peer substance use are necessary for effective prevention of both cigarette and ENDS use.
Some universal prevention programs, such as Raising Healthy Children (RHC), have shown persisting and wide-ranging benefits in adulthood, long after the intervention has ended. Recent studies suggest that benefits may continue into the next generation as well. This study examines whether the RHC intervention, delivered in childhood, may promote healthy family functioning among participants who now have families of their own.
