In males, EC susceptibility was associated with race (Black, American Indian, and other were less susceptible), psychological distress (aOR\u2009=\u20092.4, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.1, 4.8), disagreement that all tobacco products are dangerous (aOR\u2009=\u20093.1, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.2, 7.9), and perception of little\/no harm from secondhand vapor (aOR\u2009=\u20093.4, 95% CI\u2009=\u20092.1, 5.3). In females, identifying as gay, lesbian, or bisexual (aOR\u2009=\u20092.1, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.1, 3.9), poor academic performance (aOR\u2009=\u20094.5, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.6, 12.6), psychological distress (aOR\u2009=\u20092.6, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.2, 5.5) and interacting with EC content on social media (aOR\u2009=\u20095.9, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.9, 18.1) were associated with EC susceptibility.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Males and females had different patterns of susceptibility to EC use.
