This study describes patterns of cigarette smoking (current, former, never) by sociodemographic, household, and chronic disease characteristics and correlates among US adults receiving housing assistance from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during 2007-2012. Estimates were generated from 4,771 adults by using National Health Interview Survey and HUD-linked data. Overall, 48.4% of HUD-assisted adults were never smokers, 33.0% were current smokers, and 18.6% were former smokers; smoking status varied by sex, age, race/ethnicity, whether children were living in the household, and chronic disease status. These estimates could inform tobacco control interventions to improve the health and well-being of HUD-assisted residents.
本研究描述了美国住房和城市发展部(HUD)在 2007 年至 2012 年期间为住房援助接受者的美国成年人中,按社会人口统计学、家庭和慢性病特征划分的吸烟模式(当前、曾经、从不),以及这些特征与吸烟的相关性。通过全国健康访谈调查和与 HUD 关联的数据,对 4771 名成年人进行了估计。总体而言,48.4%的 HUD 援助成年人从不吸烟,33.0%的成年人是当前吸烟者,18.6%的成年人是曾经吸烟者;吸烟状况因性别、年龄、种族/族裔、是否有孩子在家庭中以及慢性病状况而异。这些估计可以为烟草控制干预措施提供信息,以改善 HUD 援助居民的健康和福祉。
