description INTRODUCTION: Tobacco use remains a primary cause of health disparities between Black and White Americans. Current approaches have not improved tobacco-related racial health disparities. This study aimed to identify differences in factors associated with tobacco product use among Black and White adolescents. METHODS: This cross-sectional design used data from Wave One (2013–2014) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study. Adolescents aged 12–17 years who identified as non-Hispanic Black or African American (n=1800) or non-Hispanic White (n=6495) were included. Primary outcomes were the ever use and current use of any tobacco products. Sociocultural, household environment, psychological, and behavioral factors were included. Logistic regressions, stratified by race, were used to determine significance. Dominance analysis was used to rank significant factors by their level of importance. RESULTS: Although there were many Black–White commonalities, there were also important differences. Black adolescents in the Northeast were more likely to have ever used tobacco compared to those in the South (OR=0.6; 95% CI: 0.6–0.7, p<0.001) and Midwest (OR=0.6; 95% CI: 0.5–0.7, p<0.001). White adolescents in the Northeast were less likely to use tobacco products than in other regions. Peer influences (OR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.1–3.2, p<0.05) were uniquely associated with ever use among Black adolescents. Access to tobacco in the home (OR=2.0; 95% CI: 1.4–3.0, p<0.001) and thinking that tobacco use would help reduce stress (OR=1.3; 95% CI: 1.1–1.6, p<0.01) were uniquely associated with current use among Black adolescents. CONCLUSIONS: There are significant Black–White differences in the factors associated with tobacco use. Factors uniquely associated with Black adolescent tobacco use should be considered in developing strategies to prevent adolescent tobacco use in Black communities.
