To understand how the Greek system uniquely influences smoking attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors among college students who belong to a social sorority or fraternity.
Active members of sororities (n = 16) and fraternities (n = 17) were interviewed between February 2013 and October 2015.
In-depth interviews were conducted examining the social influences of the Greek system on member smoking. Transcribed interviews were coded and analyzed for themes.
Sorority and fraternity members experienced different social influences on smoking. Sorority stigmatization of smoking outside bars or parties caused sorority members to hide their smoking. Fraternity members had no social penalties for smoking and allowed smoking at the fraternity house. Fraternity members influenced both fraternity members and sorority members to smoke by sharing cigarettes and smoking at parties.
Sororities and fraternities have created social environments that both promote smoking and stigmatize it, presenting unique challenges in college student smoking prevention and cessation efforts.
了解希腊系统如何独特地影响属于社交姐妹会或兄弟会的大学生的吸烟态度、信念和行为。
2013年2月至2015年10月期间,对姐妹会(n = 16)和兄弟会(n = 17)的活跃成员进行了访谈。
进行深入访谈,考察希腊系统对成员吸烟的社会影响。对转录的访谈进行编码并分析主题。
姐妹会和兄弟会成员在吸烟方面受到不同的社会影响。姐妹会对在酒吧或派对外吸烟的污名化导致姐妹会成员隐藏自己的吸烟行为。兄弟会成员吸烟没有社会惩罚,并且允许在兄弟会会所吸烟。兄弟会成员通过在派对上分享香烟和吸烟,影响兄弟会成员和姐妹会成员吸烟。
姐妹会和兄弟会创造了既促进吸烟又对其进行污名化的社会环境,给大学生吸烟预防和戒烟工作带来了独特挑战。
