This study sought to examine the relationship between tobacco-free policies at worksites to worksite demographics such as company size and geographic location.
Worksites participating in a worksite wellness workshop were asked to complete a worksite wellness instrument, which provided an assessment of their wellness practices already in place in the worksite, including the degree to which tobacco-free policies were in place at the worksite.
At a bivariate level, those more likely to have tobacco-free policies included: urban employers (76.8% versus 50% rural employers, p = 0.0001); large employers (> = 250 employees) (74.3% versus 43.1% small employers (<50 employees), p = 0.0003); and schools (69.4%) and hospitals (61.5%) (versus 35.5%, agricultural/ manufacturing employers, p = 0.0125). At the multivariate level, rural employers (AOR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.23, 0.95) and small employers (AOR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.16, 0.71) had decreased odds, compared to their urban and large employer counterparts, of having tobacco-free policies.
Rural and smaller employers are less likely to have tobacco-free policies than their urban and large counterparts.
本研究旨在探讨工作场所无烟政策与工作场所人口统计学特征(如公司规模和地理位置)之间的关系。
要求参加工作场所健康研讨会的工作场所填写一份工作场所健康调查问卷,该问卷对工作场所已有的健康措施进行评估,包括工作场所无烟政策的实施程度。
在双变量层面,更有可能实施无烟政策的包括:城市雇主(76.8%,而农村雇主为50%,p = 0.0001);大型雇主(>= 250名员工)(74.3%,而小型雇主(<50名员工)为43.1%,p = 0.0003);以及学校(69.4%)和医院(61.5%)(相比农业/制造业雇主的35.5%,p = 0.0125)。在多变量层面,与城市和大型雇主相比,农村雇主(优势比 = 0.47,95%置信区间0.23,0.95)和小型雇主(优势比 = 0.34,95%置信区间0.16,0.71)实施无烟政策的几率降低。
与城市和大型雇主相比,农村和小型雇主实施无烟政策的可能性较小。
