Copyright � 2022 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.METHODS: We used 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey data to examine the prevalence of healthcare provider screening for tobacco and e-cigarette use among US youth. Using multivariable logistic regression, we examined the factors associated with being screened for tobacco use.PURPOSE: Healthcare providers play a critical role in curbing youth tobacco use through screening and counseling. Current rates of tobacco use screening by healthcare providers among US youth are unknown.RESULTS: Of 13,434 individuals who reported past 12-month visits to any healthcare professional, 47.5% (44.8%-50.1%) reported being screened for any tobacco use, while 31.5% (29.2%-40.0%) reported e-cigarette-specific screening. The odds of tobacco use screening were lower among males (odds ratio [OR]: 0.81 [0.73-0.89]) and middle schoolers (OR: 0.39 [0.33-0.44]) compared to females and high schoolers, respectively. In addition, non-Hispanic Black (OR: 0.71 [0.56-0.89]), Hispanic (OR: 0.76 [0.63-0.92]), and Asian youth (OR: 0.48 [0.37-0.63]) had lower odds of being screened than non-Hispanic White youth.All authors: Boakye EOriginally published: Journal of Adolescent Health. 2023 Jan 06Original year of publication: 2023Fiscal year: FY2023 Fiscal year of original publication: | FY2023 | | | Original title: Healthcare Provider Screening for Tobacco Product and Electronic Cigarette Use Among Youth in the United States.Digital Object Identifier:
