| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS AjR0xBRx. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study examined whether area-level characteristics are associated with individual smoking behavior among women. Methods. Analyses included 648 women enrolled as control patients in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (1993-1996). Smoking and covariate information was obtained from interviews. Area-level characteristics included census block-group education level, poverty, unemployment, car-home ownership, crowding, and, for 431 women, city-level crime rates. Results. In multivariate logistic regression models, no area characteristics were clearly associated with a history of smoking. Among those who had ever smoked, continued smoking was associated with living in low-education areas (odds ratio [OR]=1.7,95% confidence interval [CI]=1.0,2.9), high-unemployment areas (OR=1.7,95% CI=1.0,2.8), and high-crime areas (OR=1.6,95% CI=0.8,3.2). Conclusions. The present findings are consistent with a growing literature suggesting that area-level social and economic disadvantage influences individual smoking behavior. |
