Students reported on PCP use (within the past 24\u2009h as well as general habits), precautionary behaviors they use when choosing products (e.g., using healthy product apps), and social media habits. For each participant, we tallied the number of products used overall and by product type (e.g., skin care, cosmetics). We fitted multivariable negative binomial models examining the number of products used in relation to precautionary behaviors and social media consumption. Secondarily, we fitted models restricted to females.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Females used twice as many products as males in the past 24\u2009h (median (inter-quartile range), females: 14(8), males: 7(3)). Although 41% reported avoiding products containing certain chemicals, few students engaged in precautionary behaviors when selecting products, such as reading ingredient lists (19%) or using healthy product apps or websites (5%). In multivariable models, few associations were observed between precautionary behaviors and the number of PCPs used. However, there were consistent positive associations between social media consumption and the number of products used. For example, above median daily time spent on social media (Incidence Rate Ratio [IRR]: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.09), following influencers with product lines (IRR:1.30, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.52) and watching hair\/beauty tutorials (IRR:1.40, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.63) were associated with greater PCP use in the last 24\u2009h. Results were robust to analyses of occasional PCP use (at least once in the past 6 months) as well as in analyses restricted to females.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In adolescents, PCP use was comparable to prior studies among adults, while engagement in precautionary behaviors that could reduce chemical exposures was infrequent.
