=== 2023: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36857841/ Change in E-cigarette risk perception and smoking behavior of Black and Latinx individuals who smoke.] ===
* This is a secondary data analysis of Dr. Ahluwalia’s important work testing e-cigarettes for smoking cessation among Black and Latinx adults, examining the association between risk perceptions of e-cigarettes and cigarettes smoked per week (CPW):
* Results: The mean CPW decreased from 82.8 (SD=49.8) at baseline to 15.8 (SD=29.8) at week 6. A one-level increase in EC risk perception (i.e., EC perceived as riskier than CC from baseline to week 6) was associated with an increase in CPW (IRR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.03; 3.24). Latinx participants were more likely to have higher CPW as EC risk perception increased compared to Black participants (IRR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.09; 3.26).
* This is a dramatic short-term decrease in cigarettes per week, of over 80%; such reductions have been associated with improvements in health. However, this study shows that risk perceptions might inhibit some of this progress, even among those who are already using e-cigarettes in a cessation trial. In other words, even after getting over the potential hurdle of starting e-cigarette use (which itself can be impacted by risk perceptions), risk perceptions also play a role “downstream” in later stages of the possible switching process.
