“…First, YAC protocols subscribe to completeness and quality of minority data using recommended standards for recoding racial and ethnic categories and reporting smallest available minority units to minimize inaccurate attributions. 42 Still, there is heterogeneity across and within race and ethnicity categories for which analysis cannot account, including multi-racial identities or distinctions within “Other” categories. 43 Arguably, these results are hard to interpret given heterogeneity of the All Other Races group.…”

Introduction The present study examines contributions of individual-level health determinants on young adult tobacco use initiation to improve understanding of racial/ethnic distinctions and to inform effective tobacco prevention strategies. Methods Using time-to-event analyses, the 10-wave (2011-2016) Truth Initiative Young Adult Cohort, a probability-based, nationally representative sample of US young adults aged 18-34 (N=7,665), provides data to examine differences in variables that influence tobacco uptake, by race/ethnicity. Results Among Non-Hispanic White young adults, having fewer peers who smoke cigarettes is protective against any tobacco initiation, whereas hazard of tobacco initiation increases for males, having low confidence to resist smoking, and having higher proclivity for sensation seeking. Depressive and anxiety symptoms increase uptake hazard most in the Non-Hispanic All Other Races group and least among Non-Hispanic Black individuals. Among Hispanic young adults, being female and perceiving tobacco as harmful are notably protective while being male is a notable uptake hazard. Unlike other groups, higher income levels do not lower hazard among Hispanic individuals. Cannabis use and overestimating the smoking rate among peers increase hazard least among Hispanic individuals. In the Non-Hispanic All Other Races group, aging is least protective; hazard increases notably if individuals engage in regular alcohol or cannabis use. Conclusions Tobacco prevention efforts are critical during young adulthood. Specific tobacco uptake hazard and protective factors exist by race/ethnicity and should be considered when developing selective young adult prevention, particularly among groups with the highest risk for tobacco initiation during this life stage. Implications Rising rates of tobacco initiation among US young adults necessitate expanded efforts to prevent tobacco use initiation and progression beyond youth. Results highlight nuanced and differential tobacco uptake hazards by race/ethnicity for late initiation and sustained non-tobacco use among young adults. The study confirms existing evidence on tobacco use patterns and contributes to new knowledge on risk and protective factors. Tobacco prevention and control interventions, including policies, tailored in more meaningful ways could reduce tobacco use disparities among those most disproportionately affected.

“…Racial and ethnic self-identi cation is also variable, depending on a variety of contextual factors such as macropolitical environment or an individual's age (Mihoko Doyle & Kao, 2007). As such, both individual identities and racial and ethnic categories are constantly shifting and culture dependent (Liebler et al, 2017;Viano & Baker, 2020). This is re ected in how, from 1790 to 2020, the U.S.…”

Objective. Because racial and ethnic minoritized groups disproportionately represented essential workers and lacked equitable access to resources that mitigated exposure and mortality risk, the COVID-19 pandemic brought disparities to the forefront of public health, exacerbating existing discrepancies. These inequities highlight a pressing need for the prevention science field to investigate whether interventions promote equitable well-being, which served as the impetus for this study. We examined 885 programs with evaluations published from 2010-2021 and recorded in the Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development registry of preventive interventions. Methods. Focusing on race and ethnicity but also tracking reporting of gender, location, and economic disadvantage, we conducted a descriptive analysis on the prevalence of culturally tailored interventions (i.e., those developed for specific populations) and reporting of sample characteristics. In addition, inferential analyses examined reporting time trends, as well as the relationship between study quality (i.e., methodological soundness, beneficial effects) and culturally tailored programs, and racial ethnic enrollment. Results. Most studies were conducted in the U.S. (n=583). Two percent of programs were developed for Black or African American youth and four percent targeted Hispanic or Latino populations. For the 77% of studies that reported race, most enrollees were White (35%) followed by Black or African American (28%), and 31% were collapsed across racial categories or categorized with ethnicity, thus ignoring the intersectionality of race and ethnicity. In the 64% of studies that reported ethnicity, 32% of enrollees identified as Hispanic or Latino. Reporting did not improve over time, and there was no relationship between high quality evaluations and programs developed for racial ethnic minority groups, or samples with high proportions of racial ethnic enrollees. Conclusions. Research gaps on racial and ethnic groups identified in this study indicate the need for improved representation and clear reporting to reduce disparities and improve the utility of preventive interventions.

“…How Do Changes in Institutional Categories for Demographic Variables over Time Affect Analyses? When working with institutional data, researchers may need to track how their institutions' social categories have changed over time (Viano and Baker, 2020;Byrd, 2021). Categorizations like gender, race and ethnicity, income, and parental education are not fixed; these categories fluctuate over time, even if slowly.…”
