Methods: Data from the Truth Longitudinal Cohort - a nationally representative sample of youth and young adults - was collected between October 2022 to February 2023. The analytic sample was comprised of participants who provided information on e-cigarette use and the DASS-21 scale (N = 4198).

Tobacco and Nicotine Product Use Transitions by Race and Ethnicity: Results from a Latent Transition Analysis Using Data from the Truth Longitudinal Cohort (2020-2022).

Objective: To examine use and frequency patterns across e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and little cigars, cigars, and cigarillos (LCCs) over time and determine whether patterns differ by race and ethnicity.

Methods: Data was obtained from the Truth Longitudinal Cohort of youth and young adults between September 2020 and June 2022. Latent class and transition analyses were used to classify participants ( = 4448) into subgroups, based on frequency of tobacco product use in the past 30 days, and to estimate the probability of use pattern transitions by race and ethnicity, adjusted for the effects of gender, financial situation, parental education, household tobacco use, and sensation seeking.
