We assessed how varying definitions of adult current smokeless tobacco (SLT) use affected overall prevalence estimates.
National prevalence estimates were from five surveys: 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2009-2010 National Adult Tobacco Survey (NATS), 2010-2011 Tobacco Use Supplement of the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS), 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), and 2010 National Health Information Survey (NHIS). State-specific prevalence estimates were from three surveys: 2009-2010 NATS, 2010-2011 TUS-CPS, and 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Current SLT use definitions were as follows: past 5-day use (NHANES), past 30-day use (NATS and NSDUH), and "every day" or "some days" use (TUS-CPS, NHIS, and BRFSS). Inter-survey variations further existed in number and types of SLT products assessed.
National prevalence estimates of current SLT use were as follows: NATS (3.9%), NSDUH (3.6%), NHIS (2.8%), NHANES (2.3%), and TUS-CPS (1.6%). State-specific prevalence estimates of SLT use were generally lower for TUS-CPS (median=2.1%, range: 0.5% in California and New York, to 7.2% in Wyoming) compared to either BRFSS (median=4.0%: range: 0.9% in Washington D.C., to 8.2% in Wyoming) or NATS (median=4.7%; range: 1.3% in New Jersey, to 9.8% in Wyoming).
Concerted efforts are needed among interagency groups to harmonize SLT definition within different surveys.
我们评估了成人当前无烟烟草(SLT)使用的不同定义如何影响总体患病率估计。
全国患病率估计来自五项调查:2009 - 2010年国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)、2009 - 2010年全国成人烟草调查(NATS)、2010 - 2011年当前人口调查烟草使用补充调查(TUS - CPS)、2010年全国药物使用和健康调查(NSDUH)以及2010年国家健康信息调查(NHIS)。特定州的患病率估计来自三项调查:2009 - 2010年NATS、2010 - 2011年TUS - CPS以及2010年行为风险因素监测系统(BRFSS)。当前SLT使用的定义如下:过去5天使用(NHANES)、过去30天使用(NATS和NSDUH)以及“每天”或“某些天”使用(TUS - CPS、NHIS和BRFSS)。在评估的SLT产品数量和类型方面,不同调查之间还存在差异。
当前SLT使用的全国患病率估计如下:NATS(3.9%)、NSDUH(3.6%)、NHIS(2.8%)、NHANES(2.3%)和TUS - CPS(1.6%)。与BRFSS(中位数 = 4.0%:范围:华盛顿特区为0.9%,怀俄明州为8.2%)或NATS(中位数 = 4.7%;范围:新泽西州为1.3%,怀俄明州为9.8%)相比,TUS - CPS的特定州SLT使用患病率估计普遍较低(中位数 = 2.1%,范围:加利福尼亚州和纽约州为0.5%,怀俄明州为7.2%)。
跨部门团体需要共同努力,以统一不同调查中的SLT定义。
