“…Our study showed that maternal education level has a protective factor in the smoking behavior of the adolescents [37,38]. This highlights the importance of taking into consideration parental education and socioeconomic (SES) level in the development stage of a future health promotion program, because low-SES families will require consistent support to prevent their children from smoking [39].…”

The prevalence of concurrent use of combustible and electronic cigarettes (dual-use) is on the rise among Malaysian adolescents. This study compares nicotine dependence among exclusive cigarette users, e-cigarette users, and dual adolescent users. A total of 227 adolescent smokers completed a self-administrated questionnaire with items based on Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC) incorporated. Endorsement of at least one HONC item indicates nicotine dependence. Exhaled carbon monoxide readings and salivary cotinine data were also collected. Over half (52.9%) of the participants were exclusive e-cigarette users (EC). The prevalence of exclusive conventional cigarette smokers (CC) and dual users was 11.9% and 35.2%, respectively. Adolescents who have mothers with secondary school education were more likely to become addicted to nicotine (Adjusted Odd Ratio (aOR) = 2.72; 95% CI = 1.17–6.32). Adolescents’ “mother’s education” level predicted nicotine dependence. This highlighted the need to target families within the identified demography with a more supportive anti-tobacco program.

“…E8-LWDS demonstrated good convergent construct validity with factors that were hypothesized to be associated with WT dependence, whether the scale was represented in tertiles or as a continuous variable, suggesting these results were robust. Daily WTS smoking, self-reported addiction, higher frequency/intensity of use, perceived ability to quit, and previous quit attempts were also found to be associated with WT dependence in previous studies [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][22][23][24][25][26]. E8-LWDS was able to discriminate between heavy and non-heavy WT smokers using WTS frequency (waterpipes/week) and intensity (hagar/day) as in other studies [14,22].…”

“…To examine convergent construct validity of the adapted scale among this study population, measures that were hypothesized to be associated with WT dependence, such as younger age at WTS initiation, higher frequency and intensity of WTS, smoking alone and at home, less perceived harm of WTS compared with cigarette smoking, self-reported addiction to WTS, lower self-efficacy, and fewer quit attempts were identified from previous literature [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]22,23]. Hence, data on participants' WTS behavior, perceived harm, and perceived behavioral control of WTS were included in this analysis.…”

“…Dependence is a multidimensional matter; thus, characterizing features unique to waterpipe tobacco (WT) dependence is important in informing cessation efforts. For instance, initiating WTS at a younger age, smoking WT daily, transitioning from a social to an individual WTS pattern, and lower perceived WTS addictiveness and lower self-efficacy were found to be associated with WT dependence [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, WT smokers may not be aware of such features.…”

Introduction: There is no universal scale for assessing waterpipe tobacco (WT) dependence. We examined the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the Waterpipe Dependence Scale-11 (LWDS-11) among Egyptian WT smokers. Methods: We administered the LWDS-11 during face-interview questionnaires in two cross-sectional surveys among 1490 current WT smokers recruited via purposive quota sampling. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on half of the sample. Confirmatory factor analysis of the resulting model was done using structural equation modelling on the other half. Scale reliability was examined. We assessed convergent construct validity using regression models to examine the association between the adapted dependence scale and factors conceptually expected to be associated with WT dependence. Results: Exploratory factor analysis of the scale yielded eight items (E8-LWDS) supporting a three-factor structure: physical dependence (three items); psychological dependence (three items); and psychological craving (two items). Cronbach’s α were 0.635 for the total scale and 0.823, 0.654, and 0.785 for the three subscales. E8-LWDS was confirmed to have good model fit (comparative fit index = 0.995; root mean squared error of approximation = 0.027). E8-LWDS was independently associated with daily WT smoking, rural residence, being a skilled worker, non-exclusive WTS, smoking ≥ eight WT hagars/day, and measures of perceived behavioral control (self-reported addiction to WT, perceived ability to quit, and previous quit attempts). Conclusion: E8-LWDS showed adequate psychometric properties among this sample of Egyptian current WT smokers, which makes it appropriate for use by researchers and practitioners. Adding items related to perceived behavioral control might enhance the scale robustness.

“…During adolescence, alcohol consumption is related to school problems [ 18 ], violence [ 18 , 19 ], risky sexual behaviors [ 19 ], use of other substances [ 20 ], and cognitive and neural damage [ 21 ]. Tobacco use, on the other hand, increases the risk of nicotine dependence [ 22 ] and has harmful effects on health [ 23 ]. Due to the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco use in this age group, it is important to clarify the factors that predispose individuals to their consumption to elucidate how to prevent this behavior.…”

Weight misperception and substance use: Brazilian Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA)

et al. 2022

Background Adolescence is a crucial period for body image formation. Weight misperception is the discrepancy between individuals’ body weight perception and their actual nutritional status. Both weight concerns and substance use are common among adolescents, and there is evidence of an associations between these two variables. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the association between weight misperception and substance use (smoking and alcohol) in a national sample of normal weight Brazilian adolescents. Methods Data were obtained from the Brazilian Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA), a cross-sectional, multicenter, national, school-based survey, carried out in 124 municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants from Brazil. The sample included adolescents aged 12–17 years, classified as normal weight by nutritional status evaluation. The following measures were collected: weight underestimation and overestimation (exposure); having tried cigarette smoking, current smoking, current alcohol consumption, binge drinking and current smoking and alcohol consumption(outcomes); macro-region, sex, type of school, and excessive screen time (confounders). The frequency of variables was calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Poisson regression models were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR). Results In total, data from 53,447 adolescents were analyzed. Weight misperception was present in a third of the adolescents, with similar prevalence of weight underestimation and overestimation. In adolescents aged 12–14 years, weight underestimation and overestimation were associated with having tried cigarette smoking (PR: 1.18 and 1.43, respectively), current alcohol consumption (PR: 1.33 for both weight misperception categories), and binge drinking (PR: 1.96 and 2.01, respectively). Weight underestimation was associated with both having tried cigarette smoking and current alcohol consumption in boys (PR: 1.14 and 1.16, respectively) and girls (PR: 1.32 and 1.15, respectively). In girls, weight overestimation was associated with all substance use variables (PR between 1.19 and 1.41). Conclusions Our results showed an association between weight misperception and having tried cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and binge drinking in younger adolescents. In addition, weight overestimation was associated with all substance use indicators in girls. Based on our findings, interventions aimed to improve weight perception in normal weight adolescents may contribute to the reduction of substance use in this population.
