Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare characteristics of usual JUUL users versus other electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) users, examine differences in reasons for use and perceptions across ENDS user groups, and identify significant correlates of usual JUUL use.
Methods: This study used data from 510 young adult ENDS users (ages 18-29 years) from Wave 7 (Spring 2018) of the Marketing and Promotions Across Colleges in Texas Project (Project M-PACT). Chi-Square analyses, independent t-tests, and mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with usual JUUL use. Four separate regression analyses were conducted based on independent variables of interest; all models included demographics and ENDS/other tobacco use behaviors as covariates.
Results: Compared with other ENDS users, usual JUUL users were more likely to be male, younger, smoke cigarettes, reported a higher socioeconomic status (SES), used ENDS on more days in the past 30 days, and reported nicotine "hit" as a reason for use. Usual JUUL users had a higher prevalence of perceiving JUUL/pod vapes as addictive compared with other ENDS users, although perceived addictiveness was not significant in the multivariable models nor were the cessation and dependence measures different between ENDS user groups.
Conclusions: Results highlight concerns about the dual use of JUUL and cigarettes and raise additional concerns about the high nicotine concentration of JUUL. Future longitudinal research is needed to determine if usual JUUL users are more likely to develop symptoms of nicotine dependence compared with other ENDS users.

Changes in Exposure to Tobacco-Related Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents among Adults who Switched Completely from Smoking Cigarettes to Use of the JUUL2 System for Six Days.

Introduction: Adults who switch from smoking cigarettes to use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) may reduce their exposure to harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs). This study assessed changes in exposure to HPHCs, assessed via biomarkers of exposure (BOEs), among adults who switched to a new ENDS product.
Methods: Adults who smoke cigarettes (N = 89) were randomized to: (1) switch completely to using JUUL2 Virginia Tobacco (N = 24) or Polar Menthol (N = 24); (2) continue smoking usual brand (UB) cigarettes (N = 21); or (3) abstain from all tobacco/nicotine products (N = 20) for six days.

Introduction: Older adults are at risk of developing new or worsened disability when hospitalized for acute medical illness. This study is a secondary analysis of the STAND-Cph trial on the effect of a simple strength training intervention initiated during hospitalization and continued after discharge. We investigated the between-group difference in change in functional performance outcomes, the characteristics of patients who experienced a relevant effect of the intervention, and the characteristics of those who were compliant with the intervention, using an expanded sample size as protocolized.

Introduction: To determine whether e-cigarette brand use varies according to race/ethnicity among adolescent and young adult e-cigarette users.
Aims And Methods: Data are from a cross-sectional online survey of respondents aged 15-24 years (January 2022-June 2023; 300 unique respondents/week). The analytic sample was restricted to current e-cigarette users (n = 6387).
Smoking reduction using an electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) with nicotine delivery similar to combustible cigarettes.

Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) offer a promising approach to tobacco harm reduction, but many people use both ENDS and combustible cigarettes ("dual use"), which undermines potential risk reduction. To explore the role of ENDS nicotine delivery in promoting switching to ENDS, we conducted a study in which people who smoked cigarettes were offered an ENDS that had previously been shown to replicate the rapid nicotine pharmacokinetics of combustible cigarettes (BIDI Stick).
Methods: Twenty-five cigarette smoking adults, not seeking smoking cessation treatment, but open to using ENDS as a cigarette substitute, were provided with a 12-week supply of BIDI Stick in tobacco or menthol flavors, during a study that included seven biweekly sessions and a 6-month follow-up.
Prenatal affective cognitive training to reduce the risk of postpartum depression (PACT): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 30-50% of women with a history of previous depression or bipolar disorder and 8% of women with no history of depression. Negative cognitive biases in the perception of infant cues and difficulties with emotion regulation are replicated risk factors. Current interventions focus on detecting and treating rather than preventing PPD.
