“…All dual and triple substance combinations including this behaviour rose in prevalence towards the end of the examined period, with concurrent vaping and drinking particularly common. The association between e-cigarettes and alcohol, previously observed in other studies ( Morean et al, 2016 ; Schlienz & Lee, 2018 ; Taylor et al, 2017 ), together with data on social media trends ( Camenga et al, 2018 ; Chu et al, 2018 ; Sampasa-Kanyinga & Hamilton, 2018 ), indicates that use of the former is now a social activity ( Pepper et al, 2017 ; Yule & Tinson, 2017 ). This is particularly concerning not only in light of potential feedback effects due to the previously discussed outsize effects of peer behaviour, but also because e-cigarette use has been shown to increase the risk of cigarette smoking ( Barnett et al, 2015 ; Bold et al, 2018 ; Hammond et al, 2017 ), which also often co-occurs with alcohol use in social situations ( Berg et al, 2018 ; Gubner, Thrul, Kelly, & Ramo, 2018 ; Silveira et al, 2018 ), adding an additional layer of risk.…”

Introduction Poly-substance use, increasingly understood as a behaviour with uniquely adverse consequences, is on the rise among Canadian youth. High levels of e-cigarette vaping and the recent legalization of recreational cannabis use may result in an acceleration of this trend. The aim of this work was to characterise changes in youth poly-substance use over time, generate baseline data for future investigations, and highlight areas of interest for policy action. Methods Descriptive statistics and regression models explored patterns and trends in concurrent use of multiple substances (alcohol, cigarettes, cannabis, and e-cigarettes) among Canadian high school students taking part in the COMPASS prospective cohort study during Y2 (2013/2014; n = 45,298), Y3 (2014/2015, n = 42,355), Y4 (2015/2016; n = 40,436), Y5 (2016/2017; n = 37,060), and Y6 (2017/2018; n = 34,879). Results Poly-substance use increased significantly over time, with over 50% of students who used substance reporting past-year use of multiple substances by 2017/2018. Male and Indigenous students were significantly more likely to report poly-substance use than female and white students respectively. E-cigarette vaping doubled from Y5 to Y6 and was included in all increasingly prevalent substance use combinations. Conclusions Youth poly-substance use, rising since 2012/2013, saw a particularly steep increase after 2016/2017. Differential effects were observed for distinct demographic subpopulations, indicating tailored interventions may be required. E-cigarette vaping surged in parallel with the observed increase, suggesting a key role for this behaviour in shaping youth poly-substance use.

“…These findings are consistent with prior research demonstrating a cross-sectional association between e-cigarette use and frequent social media use among Canadian adolescents. 40 Our findings suggest that effects of frequently viewing social media content on adolescents' susceptibility to e-cigarette use are worthy of future study. E-cigarette content is common on social media, 11,41 and repeated exposure to such content may normalize e-cigarette use.…”

Introduction This study examined effects of experimentally manipulated social media exposure on adolescents’ willingness and intention to use e-cigarettes. Methods Participants were 135 adolescents age 13-18 (52.6% female, M age=15.3) in California. Participants viewed 6 social media posts online in a 2 (post source: peer or advertisement) X 2 (e-cigarette content exposure: heavy or light) between-subjects design. Analyses were weighted to population benchmarks. We examined adolescents’ beliefs, willingness, and intention to use e-cigarettes in association with social media use intensity in daily life and with experimentally manipulated exposure to social media posts that varied by source (peer or advertisement) and content (e-cigarette heavy or light). Results Greater social media use in daily life was associated with greater willingness and intention to use e-cigarettes and more positive attitudes, greater perceived norms, and lower perceived danger of e-cigarette use (all p-values<.01). In tests of the experimental exposures, heavy (versus light) e-cigarette content resulted in greater intention (p=.049) to use e-cigarettes and more positive attitudes (p=.019). Viewing advertisements (versus peer-generated posts) resulted in greater willingness and intention (p-values<.01) to use e-cigarettes, more positive attitudes (p=.003), and greater norm perceptions (p=.009). The interaction effect of post source by post content was not significant for any of the outcomes (all p-values>0.529) Conclusions Greater social media use and heavier exposure to advertisements and e-cigarette content in social media posts are associated with a greater risk for e-cigarette use among adolescents. Regulatory action is needed to prohibit sponsored e-cigarette content on social media platforms used by youth.

“…These findings suggest that heavy use of social media and total screen time are associated with negative parent–child relationships differentially for mothers and fathers and between girls and boys. This is particularly worrisome because (a) adolescence is a developmental period characterized by substantial increases in risk‐taking behaviors; (b) social media use is common among adolescents and heavy use has been associated with a wide range of risk behavior among adolescents (Sampasa‐Kanyinga & Chaput, b; Sampasa‐Kanyinga & Hamilton, ; Sampasa‐Kanyinga et al, ; Sampasa‐Kanyinga, Hamilton, & Chaput, ); and (c) positive parent–child relationship has been shown to be a key protective factor that lowers the risk of engaging in health‐risk behavior among adolescents (Gribble Patricia et al, ; O'Brien & Mosco, ; Qu et al, ). As such, heavy use of social media and negative parent–child relationships could individually or synergically fuel adolescent risk behaviors.…”

“…Social media use is a sedentary behavior and research has shown that such sedentary habits can persist into adulthood and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality (World Health Organization, ). Heavy social media use is also associated with a wide range of health‐compromising behaviors, including substance use (Sampasa‐Kanyinga & Chaput, ; Sampasa‐Kanyinga & Hamilton, ), unhealthy eating behaviors (Sampasa‐Kanyinga, Chaput, & Hamilton, ), short sleep duration (Sampasa‐Kanyinga, Hamilton, & Chaput, ), negative body image (Sampasa‐Kanyinga, Chaput, & Hamilton, ), and mental health problems (Kelly, Zilanawala, Booker, & Sacker, ; Sampasa‐Kanyinga & Lewis, ). In addition, by reducing the amount of time spent interacting with others, heavy social media use can negatively impact interpersonal relationships, including those with parents.…”

We examined the association between social media use and parent–child relationship quality and tested whether this association is independent of total screen time. Data on 9,732 students (48.4% female) aged 11–20 years were obtained from a provincially representative school‐based survey. Heavy use of social media (daily use of more than 2 hr) was associated with greater odds of negative relationships between mother–daughter (odds ratio [OR] = 1.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27–2.52), father–daughter (OR = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.16–2.09), father–son (OR = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.58–3.05) but not mother–son (OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 0.88–1.55). Results were similar after further adjusting for total screen time. There were no significant associations between regular use of social media (2 hr or less) and parent–child relationships. These findings suggest that heavy use of social media is associated with negative parent–child relationships. Longitudinal research is necessary to disentangle the pathways between social media use and the parent–child relationship.
