Racial Disparities in Flavored Tobacco Product Use, Curiosity, Susceptibility, and Harm Perception, National Youth Tobacco Survey 2019-2020.

Given that flavored tobacco use is prevalent among youth and aggressively marketed more to racial/ethnic minority populations, it is important to understand how susceptibility and perceptions relate to tobacco use. Our results suggest a need for a better understanding of social and environmental factors that drive tobacco use behaviors and perceptions, particularly among Hispanic youth, to address the root causes of these differences and create more equitable tobacco control interventions.
