Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS DR0xsG98. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. To better understand patterns of initiation among American Indians we examined age-related patterns of smoking initiation during adolescence and young adulthood in 2 American Indian tribes. Methods. We used log-rank comparison and a Cox proportional hazard regression model to analyze data from a population-based study of Southwest and Northern Plains American Indians aged 18 to 95 years who initiated smoking by age 18 years or younger. Results. The cumulative incidence of smoking initiation was much higher among the Northern Plains Indians (47%) than among the Southwest Indians (28% ; P<. in the southwest men were more likely than women to initiate smoking at a younger age there was no such difference northern plains sample. and recent birth cohorts initiated an earlier did those born older cohorts. differed pattern of initiation across as evidenced by significant test for interaction conclusion. our findings underscore need implement tobacco prevention control measures within american indian communities.> |
