Trends in smokeless tobacco use were examined for men in Indiana, Iowa, Montana, and West Virginia from 1988 through 1993.
State survey data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed.
Demographic characteristics associated with smokeless tobacco use included age less than 35 years, a high school education or less, and rural residence. Overall, there was little change in smokeless tobacco use among men in these states (range = -0.4-0.4 percentage points annually); only West Virginia had a significant decline.
Reasons for the overall lack of decline may include increased advertising and promotional expenditures or substitution of smokeless tobacco for cigarettes. Increased prevention and cessation efforts are needed.
研究1988年至1993年印第安纳州、爱荷华州、蒙大拿州和西弗吉尼亚州男性无烟烟草使用情况的趋势。
对行为风险因素监测系统(BRFSS)的州调查数据进行分析。
与无烟烟草使用相关的人口统计学特征包括年龄小于35岁、高中及以下学历和农村居住。总体而言,这些州男性的无烟烟草使用情况变化不大(每年变化范围=-0.4至0.4个百分点);只有西弗吉尼亚州出现了显著下降。
总体缺乏下降的原因可能包括广告和促销支出增加或无烟烟草替代卷烟。需要加强预防和戒烟工作。
