We assessed the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use by 901 high school students in two Arkansas communities, and identified factors associated with initiation and maintenance. Results showed that 36.7 per cent of males and 2.2 per cent of females currently used smokeless tobacco. Modal responses indicated that if smokeless tobacco was used at all, it was used with frequency on an almost daily basis. Health professionals need to monitor this phenomenon closely and take appropriate preventive actions.
我们评估了阿肯色州两个社区901名高中生使用无烟烟草的情况,并确定了与开始使用和持续使用相关的因素。结果显示,目前有36.7%的男性和2.2%的女性使用无烟烟草。典型的回答表明,如果使用无烟烟草,几乎每天都会频繁使用。卫生专业人员需要密切监测这一现象,并采取适当的预防措施。
