| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 1RrkR0xh. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study measured the prevalence of cigarette smoking among gay men and identified associations with smoking. Methods. Household-based (n=696) and bar-based (n=1897) sampling procedures yielded 2593 gay male participants from portland, Ore, and Tucson, Ariz, in the spring of 1992. Results. Forty-eight percent of the combined sample reported current smoking, a rate far above prevalence estimates for men in Arizona (z=14.11,<. 001) or Oregon (z=24.24, P<. 001). Significant associations with smoking included heavy drinking, frequent gay bar attendance, greater AIDS-related losses, HIV seropositive, lower health rating than members of same age cohort, lower educational attainment, and lower income. Conclusions. Rates of cigarette smoking are very high among gay men. Tobacco prevention and cessation campaigns should be designed to reach the gay male commnity. |
