People who are incarcerated use tobacco in high numbers before incarceration and the vast majority resume tobacco use soon after release despite institutional smoking bans. Nine years of surveys collected at a correctional facility in the Midwest, U.S., were analyzed to identify the needs of this high-risk population and suggest future directions for research and intervention development. For the most part, survey respondents considered themselves no longer addicted to tobacco and intended to remain tobacco free after release. They increasingly expected support to remain tobacco free from their home environment despite no change in home tobacco use. Over this nine-year period, significantly fewer respondents wanted materials and help to remain tobacco free, suggesting they have become more challenging to assist. Implications for intervention development and future research are discussed.
被监禁的人在入狱前大量使用烟草，而且绝大多数人在获释后不久就恢复吸烟，尽管监狱有禁烟规定。对美国中西部一所惩教机构收集的九年调查数据进行了分析，以确定这一高危人群的需求，并为未来的研究和干预措施制定提供方向。在很大程度上，调查对象认为自己不再对烟草上瘾，并打算在获释后不再吸烟。尽管家庭烟草使用情况没有变化，但他们越来越期望家庭环境能支持他们保持不吸烟状态。在这九年期间，希望获得戒烟材料和帮助的受访者显著减少，这表明帮助他们变得更具挑战性。本文讨论了对干预措施制定和未来研究的启示。
