OBJECTIVES
We examined the relationship between acculturation and tobacco use behaviors among Chinese Americans.
METHODS
Using a Chinese-language instrument based on validated questions from several national surveys, we conducted in-person, household-based interviews with 712 representative adults aged 18-74 years.
RESULTS
Observed smoking prevalence was 29% for men and 4% for women. Predictors of smoking cessation included being 35 years and older and having a high level of tobacco-related knowledge. Acculturation was positively associated with a history of never smoking, as was being younger than 35 years and having a high level of tobacco-related knowledge.
CONCLUSIONS
Acculturation was positively associated with never smoking among men but not with smoking cessation. However, knowledge of tobacco-related health risks was associated with both. Results indicate a need for language-specific educational interventions.
目的
我们研究了华裔美国人的文化适应与烟草使用行为之间的关系。
方法
我们使用基于多项全国性调查中经过验证的问题所设计的中文调查问卷，对712名年龄在18 - 74岁的具有代表性的成年人进行了上门入户的面对面访谈。
结果
观察到男性吸烟率为29%，女性为4%。戒烟的预测因素包括年龄在35岁及以上以及具备较高的烟草相关知识水平。文化适应与从不吸烟的历史呈正相关，年龄小于35岁以及具备较高的烟草相关知识水平也与从不吸烟的历史呈正相关。
结论
文化适应与男性从不吸烟呈正相关，但与戒烟无关。然而，烟草相关健康风险的知识与两者均有关联。结果表明需要开展特定语言的教育干预措施。
