Abstrakt: Objective: Assess the prevalence, perceptions, sociodemographic/personal factors that influence Juul use among incoming freshmen. Participants: Incoming undergraduate students (N = 1,706) attending a public university in the southeastern U.S. Methods: Cross-sectional survey administered August 2018. Bivariate relationships assessed using chi-square test of association. Multinomial logistic regression to determine factors associated with Juul use status. Results: 41% had ever used Juul, 24% had used within the past month. Among current users, one-third had used 20–30 days. Risk factors for current use: heterosexual orientation (relative to other sexual orientation) AOR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.20–3.91), those who planned to join sorority/fraternity (relative to those who did not plan to; AOR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.59–2.90), current smokers (relative to nonsmokers; AOR = 24.39, 95% CI: 7.52–76.92), current marijuana users (compared with nonusers of marijuana; AOR = 6.45, 95% CI: 3.92–10.64) and alcohol users (compared with nondrinkers; AOR = 7.81, 95% CI: 5.75–10.54). Conclusion: Prevention and treatment efforts are needed for emerging adults transitioning to college. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
