Electronic Vapor Product Use Among High School Students - Youth Risk Behavior Survey, United States, 2021.
MMWR Supplements 2023 April 29
Commercial tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. Despite declines in overall tobacco product use among youths, disparities persist. This report uses biennial data from the 2015-2021 cycles of the nationally representative Youth Risk Behavior Survey to assess prevalence and trends in electronic vapor product (EVP) use among high school students, including ever use, current use (past 30 days), and daily use. Data from 2021 also included usual source of EVPs among students who currently used EVPs. Overall, in 2021, 36.2% had ever used EVPs, 18.0% currently used EVPs, and 5.0% used EVPs daily, with variation in prevalence by demographic characteristics. Prevalence of ever use and current use of EVPs was higher among female students than male students. Prevalence of ever use, current use, and daily use of EVPs was lower among Asian students than Black or African American (Black), Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, White, and multiracial students. Prevalence of ever use, current use, and daily use of EVPs was higher among bisexual students than among students who were not bisexual. During 2015-2021, although ever use of EVPs decreased overall (from 44.9% to 36.2%) and current use of EVPs was stable overall, daily EVP use increased overall (from 2.0 to 5.0%) and among female (from 1.1% to 5.6%), male (from 2.8% to 4.5%), Black (from 1.1% to 3.1%), Hispanic (from 2.6% to 3.4%), multiracial (from 2.8% to 5.3%) and White (from 1.9% to 6.5%) students. Among students who currently use EVPs, 54.1% usually got or bought EVPs from a friend, family member, or someone else. Continued surveillance of EVP and other tobacco product use is necessary to document and understand youth tobacco product usage. These findings can be used to inform youth-focused tobacco prevention and control strategies at the local, state, tribal, and national levels.
