To examine sexual-orientation group disparities in tobacco use in adolescent girls and boys.
Survey data from 10685 adolescent girls and boys participating in 1999 in the Growing Up Today Study were examined cross-sectionally.
Community-based population of adolescents living throughout the United States. Main Outcome Measure Prevalence of tobacco use.
Ninety-two percent of the participants described themselves as heterosexual (n = 9296), 5% as mostly heterosexual (n = 511), 1% as lesbian/gay/bisexual (n = 103), and 2% as unsure (n = 226). Ages ranged from 12 to 17 years. Compared with heterosexuals, mostly heterosexual girls were 2.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.8-3.5), lesbian/bisexual girls were 9.7 (95% confidence interval, 5.1-18.4), and mostly heterosexual boys were 2.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.4-4.6) times more likely to smoke at least weekly. In contrast, gay/bisexual boys were not more likely to smoke. Findings persisted even when controlling for multiple sociodemographic and psychosocial covariates.
Our findings indicate that mostly heterosexual adolescents of both sexes and lesbian/bisexual girls are at heightened risk for tobacco use.
研究青少年男女在烟草使用方面的性取向群体差异。
对1999年参与“今日成长研究”的10685名青少年男女的调查数据进行横断面分析。
基于美国各地社区的青少年人群。主要观察指标：烟草使用 prevalence。
92%的参与者将自己描述为异性恋（n = 9296），5%为大多是异性恋（n = 511），1%为女同性恋/男同性恋/双性恋（n = 103），2%不确定（n = 226）。年龄范围为12至17岁。与异性恋者相比，大多是异性恋的女孩吸烟至少每周一次的可能性是其2.5倍（95%置信区间，1.8 - 3.5），女同性恋/双性恋女孩为9.7倍（95%置信区间，5.1 - 18.4），大多是异性恋的男孩为2.5倍（95%置信区间，1.4 - 4.6）。相比之下，男同性恋/双性恋男孩吸烟的可能性并没有更高。即使在控制了多个社会人口统计学和心理社会协变量后，研究结果依然存在。
我们的研究结果表明，大多是异性恋的青少年男女以及女同性恋/双性恋女孩吸烟的风险更高。
