N2  - BACKGROUND: Vaporized alcohol is an alternative method of ingesting alcohol that has received significant attention in the press. However, research on vaporized alcohol to date is limited. <br><br>OBJECTIVES: The current study sought to assess vaporized alcohol knowledge, use, and future susceptibility in diverse sample of young adults in the Southwest United States. <br><br>METHOD: A cross-sectional survey design was used to assess perception and use of vaporized alcohol in a sample of 986 young adults in college gathered in 2015 and 2016. <br><br>RESULTS: Overall, 26% of participants had heard of vaporized alcohol, 1.7% had used vaporized alcohol, and 33.5% were susceptible to future vaporized alcohol use. Contrary to our hypothesis, heavy drinkers were not more likely to have tried vaporized alcohol. Further, there were no significant differences in vaporized alcohol use across any sociodemographic groups. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS/Importance: Ever use of vaporized alcohol was low, which was generally consistent with prior research, debunking media reports that vaporized alcohol is a widespread problem. However, ongoing monitoring of this method of alcohol ingestions appears warranted, especially with different populations (i.e., adolescents, and young adults not in college) where no empirical research has been published to date.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
