Studies investigating patterns of tobacco use by race often aggregate non-Black and non-Hispanic racial minorities into the "Other" category, masking important differences. Pooling 10 years (2009-2018) of National Survey on Drug Use and Health data (n = 52,424), we estimated the prevalence and proportion of individual tobacco product use and patterns of single, dual, and polytobacco use overall and by sex for youth (12-17) and adult (18 +) non-Hispanic Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander (NH/PI), and multiracial respondents. Cigarette prevalence was highest among AI/AN youth (8.6%) and adults (37.3%). For youth and adults, the AI/AN subgroup had the highest prevalence of single (9.2% youth, 35.8% adults) and dual (2.8% youth, 6.6% adults) use, followed by multiracial respondents. Furthermore, among tobacco users, AI/AN and multiracial youth and adults had the highest proportions of dual and poly use compared to other races. Appropriate tobacco prevention and cessation interventions should consider variation in tobacco use among non-Hispanic "Other" subgroups.
研究种族与烟草使用模式的关系时，往往将非黑人和非西班牙裔的少数族裔归为“其他”类别，从而掩盖了重要的差异。我们对国家药物使用与健康调查（National Survey on Drug Use and Health） 10 年来（2009-2018 年）的数据（n=52424）进行了汇总，估计了非西班牙裔亚裔、美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）、夏威夷原住民/其他太平洋岛民（NH/PI）和多种族受访者中青少年（12-17 岁）和成年（18 岁及以上）人群中各类单个烟草制品的使用比例和使用模式，以及总体和按性别划分的使用情况。在 AI/AN 青少年（8.6%）和成年人（37.3%）中，香烟的使用率最高。对于青少年和成年人来说，AI/AN 亚组的单一（9.2%的青少年，35.8%的成年人）和双重（2.8%的青少年，6.6%的成年人）使用率最高，其次是多种族受访者。此外，在烟草使用者中，与其他种族相比，AI/AN 和多种族的青少年和成年人双重和多种使用的比例最高。适当的烟草预防和戒烟干预措施应考虑非西班牙裔“其他”群体中烟草使用的差异。
