Summary: This study investigated the association between the use of electronic vaping products (EVPs) and insufficient sleep among adolescents. The results showed that both current and former users of EVPs had higher odds of having insufficient sleep compared to those who had never used EVPs. This suggests that the use of EVPs is associated with sleep problems among adolescents.

Summary: Although there has been progress in reducing adolescent maternity and early marriage rates in West and Central Africa, the situation remains challenging. Higher-income countries with better legal protections for young girls consistently perform better on both indicators. Further research is needed to understand the lack of association between adolescent marriage and maternity rates with gender discrimination and social institutions.

Summary: This study aimed to further improve the web push condition, in order to increase response rates. Using the US nationally representative MTF sample, response rates were compared across the control group, mail push, and enhanced web push conditions. The distribution of responses across survey mode, devices, and methods of accessing the web survey was also examined. The results showed that the enhanced web push condition had a higher response rate compared to the other conditions, with key estimates similar to those of the control group.
