| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xL8Ry2. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We examined the relationship between acculturation and tobacco use behaviors among Chinese Americans. Methods : Using a Chinese-language instrument based on validated questions from several national surveys, we conducted in person, household-based interviews with 712 representative adults aged 18-74 years. Results : Observed smoking prevalence was 29% for men and 4% for women. Predictors of smoking cessation included being 35 years and older anti having a high level of tobacco-related knowledge. Acculturation was positively associated with a history of never smoking, as was being younger than 35 years and having a high level of tobacco related knowledge. Conclusions : Acculturation was positively associated with never smoking among men but not with smoking cessation. However, knowledge of tobacco-related health risks was associated with bath. Results indicate a need for language-specific educational interventions. |
