The present study examined the factor structure of 3 smoking-related items administered as part of the California Health Interview Survey. Factorial invariance was examined across Asian Americans (N = 377), Caucasians (N = 1739), African Americans (N = 115), and Latin Americans (N = 814), and across young men (N = 1612) and women (N = 1767). Factorial invariance analyses revealed all minority ethnic groups to be significantly different (p < .05) from Caucasians, and men to differ significantly from women. These findings suggest that the types of smoking behaviors assessed in the California Health Interview Survey do not predict behaviors uniformly across groups.
本研究考察了作为加利福尼亚健康访谈调查一部分的3个与吸烟相关项目的因子结构。对亚裔美国人（N = 377）、高加索人（N = 1739）、非裔美国人（N = 115）和拉丁美洲人（N = 814），以及年轻男性（N = 1612）和女性（N = 1767）进行了因子不变性检验。因子不变性分析显示，所有少数族裔群体与高加索人有显著差异（p <.05），男性与女性也有显著差异。这些发现表明，加利福尼亚健康访谈调查中评估的吸烟行为类型并不能在各群体中一致地预测行为。
