This study examined community perceptions and prevalence of alcohol use and cigarette smoking among American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes. Results revealed normative rates and perceptions of smoking and negative views and low rates of alcohol use. Participants reported high levels of household indoor smoking and comorbid high-risk drinking and smoking. The high smoking rate among the adult American Indians in this study is especially problematic given the increased risk of cardiovascular problems related to both smoking and type 2 diabetes. The results underscore the importance of considering substance use behaviors and beliefs as a component of overall health and well-being for people with diabetes.
本研究调查了患有2型糖尿病的美国印第安成年人对酒精使用和吸烟的社区认知及流行情况。结果显示了吸烟的规范率和认知、对饮酒的负面看法以及低饮酒率。参与者报告了较高的家庭室内吸烟水平以及高风险饮酒和吸烟并存的情况。鉴于吸烟和2型糖尿病都会增加心血管问题的风险,本研究中成年美国印第安人的高吸烟率尤其成问题。这些结果强调了将物质使用行为和观念作为糖尿病患者整体健康和福祉的一个组成部分来考虑的重要性。
