A sequential mixed methods study was conducted to identify factors influencing perceived norms about smoking and to examine the association of acculturative contexts and normative beliefs among Korean American young adults (KAYA) who face increased risk of smoking. Content analysis of data from 67 participants in 10 focus groups in 2010 led to the development of an online survey in 2012 (N = 475). KAYA overestimated smoking prevalence, reporting Korean-owned businesses (KOB) as primary places of exposure. Our findings revealed that visits to KOB predicted perceived norms about smoking. Modifying perceptions about social norms and involuntary tobacco exposure may be critical in reducing smoking among KAYA. The study's limitations are noted.
开展了一项序贯混合方法研究，以确定影响吸烟认知规范的因素，并检验面临吸烟风险增加的韩裔美国年轻人（KAYA）的文化适应背景与规范信念之间的关联。2010年对10个焦点小组中67名参与者的数据进行内容分析，促成了2012年一项在线调查（N = 475）的开展。KAYA高估了吸烟率，将韩资企业（KOB）报告为主要接触场所。我们的研究结果显示，前往KOB与吸烟认知规范相关。改变对社会规范和非自愿烟草接触的认知，可能对减少KAYA吸烟至关重要。该研究的局限性也已指出。
