Vaping and e-cigarette use has become a growing public health concern, with data demonstrating increased risk of cigarette initiation and use of cannabis, alcohol and other substances among adolescents who vape. Intersectionality impacts risk in complex ways for racial/ethnic and sexual minorities. Emerging data is exploring the extension of this risk, and the foundational structural discrimination including violence and victimization that leads to increased vaping among youth of color, particularly those identifying as sexual minorities. This panel will examine data demonstrating disparities in vaping among adolescents with dual (or more) marginalized identities, its implications for mental healthcare, and discuss the role psychiatry can play in vaping control and prevention initiatives to address inequities driven by intersectional vulnerabilities.
