Summary

The studies cited discuss findings from the PaTh Study Waves 1-3 (2013-2016) regarding tobacco product use among youth and adults in the United States. here's a summary of the findings:

1. Edwards et al. (2020) identified correlates of tobacco product relapse among youth and adults. Relapse rates were high for all product types, and certain factors like younger age, being a daily user, and using more than one product type increased the risk of relapse.

2. Stanton et al. (2020) examined initiation of any tobacco product and smokeless tobacco use among different age groups. They found that initiation was highest among young adults (18-24 years) for any tobacco product and smokeless tobacco.

3. Stanton et al. (2020) also investigated longitudinal pathways of exclusive and polytobacco smokeless use. They found that younger age, being male, and having higher income were associated with polytobacco use.

4. Edwards et al. (2020) analyzed exclusive and polytobacco e-cigarette use. They discovered that younger age, being male, and having higher income were associated with polytobacco e-cigarette use.

5. Edwards et al. (2020) studied exclusive and polytobacco cigar use. They found that younger age, being male, and having higher income were associated with polytobacco cigar use.

6. Sharma et al. (2020) explored exclusive and polytobacco cigarette use. They discovered that younger age, being male, and having higher income were associated with polytobacco cigarette use.

7. Sharma et al. (2020) investigated exclusive and polytobacco smokeless use and found that younger age, being male, and having higher income were associated with polytobacco smokeless use.

8. Sharma et al. (2020) analyzed exclusive and polytobacco hookah use. They found that younger age, being male, and higher income were associated with polytobacco hookah use.

These studies suggest that tobacco product use, particularly polytobacco use, is more common among younger individuals, males, and those with higher income.
