Nicotine Pouch Awareness, Susceptibility, and Use Among California College Students.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Research about perceptions and use of nicotine pouches among young adults is limited. This study assessed changes in awareness, susceptibility, and use of nicotine pouches among college-enrolled young adults. The analysis pooled data from two independent, cross-sectional surveys of California college students (n = 9,606, ages 18-24) in 2022 and 2024. Outcomes were nicotine pouch awareness, susceptibility to use, ever and current use, all dichotomized and modeled as a function of survey year, student demographics, and college type (four-year vs. community college). In 2024, college students' awareness of nicotine pouches was 66.9%, susceptibility was 31.7%, ever use was 15.1%, and current use was 11.5%. All outcomes increased between years. In adjusted models including interactions with survey year, increase in nicotine pouch awareness (aOR = 2.20; 95% CI: 1.81, 2.67) was significantly higher among sexual/gender minority (SGM) students (aOR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.71) compared to heterosexual men and was attenuated among students at community colleges (aOR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.95) compared to four-year colleges. Ever use of nicotine pouches nearly doubled (aOR = 1.97; 95% CI: 1.71, 2.28). Increase in current use (aOR = 3.28; 95% CI: 2.32, 4.65) was attenuated among Hispanic/Latinx students (aOR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.44, 0.99) compared to non-Hispanic/Latinx White students. Increasing awareness, susceptibility, and use of nicotine pouches among California college students raise important considerations for tobacco control. Prevention and cessation efforts should be informed by an escalated increase in awareness among students identifying as SGM and students attending a four-year university (vs. community college).
