OBJECTIVES
The current study examined the influence of gender, acculturation indicators, and their interaction on smoking cessation among Latinos.
METHODS
Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the main effects of gender, acculturation indicators, and their interactions on self-reported 7-day abstinence at 12-week follow-up among 271 Latino smokers seeking cessation counseling.
RESULTS
Analyses revealed significant main effects for several acculturation indicators and significant interactions of gender with number of years lived in the United States, proportion of life lived in the United States, and preferred media language (all P values <0.05). Follow-up analyses indicated no significant relationships between abstinence and acculturation indicators among women. Among men, abstinence rates increased with years in the United States, proportion of life in the United States, and preferred media language of English.
CONCLUSIONS
Greater acculturation predicted higher abstinence rates, but this relationship was restricted to men. This study is among the first to examine the effects of gender and acculturation on smoking abstinence among Latinos. Findings highlight the need for research focused on mechanisms underlying these relationships.
目的
本研究考察了性别、文化适应指标及其相互作用对拉丁裔人群戒烟的影响。
方法
采用逻辑回归分析，检验了 271 名寻求戒烟咨询的拉丁裔吸烟者中，性别、文化适应指标及其相互作用对 12 周随访时自我报告的 7 天戒烟率的主要影响。
结果
分析显示，几个文化适应指标存在显著的主要影响，以及性别与留美年限、留美时间比例和首选媒体语言之间的显著交互作用（所有 P 值均<0.05）。进一步分析表明，女性的戒烟率与文化适应指标之间无显著关系。而对于男性，留美年限、留美时间比例和首选媒体语言为英语与更高的戒烟率相关。
结论
更高的文化适应程度预示着更高的戒烟率，但这种关系仅限于男性。本研究是首次考察性别和文化适应对拉丁裔人群戒烟的影响。研究结果强调了需要针对这些关系的潜在机制进行研究。
