  1. Waterpipe Tobacco Dependence In UK Male Adult Residents: A Cross Sectional Study Ali Al-Bakri, ali.albakri777@gmail.com Saba Kassim, s.kassim@qmul.ac.uk Mustafa al’Absi, malabsi@umn.edu Ray Croucher, ray.e.croucher@gmail.com

  2. Introduction • Waterpipe tobacco smoking (WPTS) is getting popular in Europe (1) • WPTS has common and unique dependency aspects (2) • WPTS dependency can not be measured in traditional cigarette dependency tools (2,3) • WPTS dependence amongst UK adults WPT smokers has not been assessed • Few studies which lack validation and standardization (4)

  3. Aims • To assess, estimate and identify factors associated with waterpipe tobacco dependence syndrome amongst UK male adult resident waterpipe smokers • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Lebanon Waterpipe Dependence Scale (LWDS-11), in measuring WPTS dependence amongst UK male adult resident WPT smokers

  4. Methodology • Cross sectional survey • 7 shisha premises participated in central London • Random time table,180 participants in 4 weeks • Data were collected via face to face interview • QMUL Research Ethics Committee approved the study • Data analysis: descriptive, chi square, uni and multivariate and psychometric analysis.

  5. Questionnaire

  6. Results Sample Background

  7. Sample background (continued)

  8. Level of WPTS Dependence in the sample • The mean/SD LWDS-11 score is 10.05±5.68 • 47% of participants were more likely WPTS dependent

  9. Psychometric assessment of LWDS-11 • The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient =0.74 • Two domains were identified • physiological dependence • positive and negative reinforcement

  10. Factors associated with WPTS dependency

  11. Model of factors associated with WPTS Dependency

  12. Discussion • Of the participant 47% were WPT dependents confirming previous studies (5) • Two domain of WPT dependence emerged , contradicting other studies (3) • The association of being from Arab ethnicity and being daily WPT dependence in past with current WPT dependence confirmed current literature (6,7,8,9,10)

  13. Future research • Investigating the WPTS dependency among female population • Conducting LWDS-11 in different population to improve validity • Biomarker validation of WPTS dependency

  14. Conclusion • level of WPTS dependence was significant in this sample and was associated with socio-behavioural factors • The LWDS-11 was found useful in assessing WPTS dependency • Future research to address gaps identified
