This cross-sectional study examined the association between smoking and other health-related risk behaviors, individually as well as in clusters, across branches of military service in the higher risk ages of 18 to 25 years old within the 1998 Department of Defense Survey of Health-Related Behaviors among Military Personnel. Examination of the demographic variables revealed that, in general, smokers tended to be single, white, enlisted men in the 18- to 20-year age group with less education and serving in the Army or Marine Corps. Our findings support that there is an increased likelihood of co-occurrence of substance use along with other negative health-related risk behaviors found in military members. It may be practical and necessary to develop a focused survey given to those attending smoking cessation interventions, or perhaps to smokers in general, which attempts to identify associated risk behaviors and channel clients accordingly.
这项横断面研究，在1998年国防部军事人员健康相关行为调查中，对18至25岁这个较高风险年龄段的各军种中吸烟与其他健康相关风险行为之间的关联进行了单独以及群组方面的考察。对人口统计学变量的研究表明，总体而言，吸烟者往往是单身、白人、年龄在18至20岁之间、受教育程度较低、在陆军或海军陆战队服役的应征入伍男性。我们的研究结果支持这样的观点，即军事人员中物质使用与其他负面健康相关风险行为同时出现的可能性增加。针对参加戒烟干预措施的人群，或者可能针对一般吸烟者，开展一项针对性的调查或许是切实可行且有必要的，该调查旨在识别相关风险行为并据此引导客户。
