Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 30PaPR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We examined the association between perceived racial/ethnic harassment and tobacco use in 2129 African American college students in North Carolina. Age-adjusted and multivariate analyses evaluated the effect of harassment on daily and less-than-daily tobacco use. Harassed participants were twice as likely to use tobacco daily (odds ratio=2.01 ; 95% confidence interval=1.94,2.08) compared with those with no reported harassment experiences. Experiences of racial/ethnic harassment may contribute to tobacco use behaviors among some African American young adults. |
