The recent JAMA Network Open study finds a significant prevalence of CBD vaping among U.S. adolescents, with higher rates among Hispanic and sexual minority youth. The study calls for targeted educational campaigns and stricter regulations to curb this growing trend.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Aug 30 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A recent JAMA Network Open study investigates the prevalence of United States adolescents vaping cannabidiol and the factors associated with this behavior.
In 2022, a significant increase in cannabis vaping among adolescents was recorded in the U.S., with the highest prevalence reported among twelfth-grade students, followed by tenth-grade students. This increase has been attributed to the increased availability, convenient use, and discreetness of vaping devices.
About the study The current cross-sectional study obtained relevant data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey , a school-based survey. NYTS is conducted annually to collect representative samples of U.S. middle and high school students between 11 and 18 years of age. Study findings The study cohort consisted of about 49% females and 51% males. About 56% of the participants were middle school students, whereas 27% were high school students.
As compared to non-Hispanic White youths, Hispanic adolescents were more likely to be current e-cigarette users and report CBD use. This disproportionate use could be linked to low media literacy. Limitations The current study has some limitations, including its self-reported data, which is subjective to social desirability biases.
