背景：有证据表明，随着在美国停留时间的增加，外国出生的拉丁裔的吸烟率不断上升。因此，了解移民过程早期吸烟模式的变化及其相关因素非常重要。 目标： 调查 1) 新近拉丁裔移民 (RLI) 在美国第一年的吸烟情况； 2）移民后吸烟是否受到移民原籍国吸烟模式的影响； 3) 移民前/后社会文化因素与移民后吸烟变化之间的关联。方法：基线数据来自一项正在进行的针对 540 名年轻成人（50% 女性）RLI 的纵向研究。纳入标准为年龄在 18 至 34 岁之间，居住在佛罗里达州迈阿密戴德县，并在过去一年内从拉丁美洲国家移民。 结果：约 31% 的参与者报告称在其原籍国是吸烟者，而 26% 是当前吸烟者（居住在美国）。移民后卷烟使用量很大程度上受到原籍国卷烟使用量的影响 (V = .68)； 84% 的移民前吸烟者表示吸烟频率没有变化，而 11% 的人在移民后吸烟率下降，6% 的人增加。移民后吸烟减少的可能性在移民前社会支持较高的参与者中（aOR = 1.87），而在居住在高犯罪率社区的参与者中减少吸烟的可能性较小（aOR = .84）。 结论：旨在阻止吸烟的干预措施应在移民过程的早期开始，并考虑到 RLI 的移民前吸烟模式。在针对该人群制定戒烟计划时，应考虑人际支持和社区背景因素。
Background: Evidence indicates escalating rates of cigarette use among foreign-born Latinx as their time in the U.S increases. As such, it’s important to understand shifts in pre- to post-immigration smoking patterns early in the immigration process and its associated factors.Objectives: To examine 1) cigarette use among recent Latinx immigrants (RLIs) during their initial year in the U.S.; 2) whether cigarette use after immigration is influenced by smoking patterns in immigrant’s country of origin; and 3) associations between pre/post immigration sociocultural factors and changes in cigarette use after immigration.Methods: Baseline data were utilized from an on-going longitudinal study of 540 young adult (50% females) RLIs. Inclusion criteria was being between ages 18 and 34, residing in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and having immigrated from a Latin American country within the past yearResults: Approximately 31% of participants reported being smokers in their country of origin while 26% were current smokers (while residing in the U.S). Post-immigration cigarette use was substantially influenced by country of origin cigarette use (V = .68); 84% of pre-immigration smokers reported no change in smoking frequency, while 11% lowered and 6% increased their cigarette use post-immigration. Reduction in smoking after immigration was more likely among participants with higher pre-immigration social support (aOR = 1.87) and less likely among those residing in high-crime neighborhoods (aOR = .84).Conclusion: Interventions aimed to discourage cigarette use should begin early in the immigration process and account for RLIs’ pre-immigration smoking patterns. Interpersonal supports and neighborhood contextual factors should be considered when developing smoking cessation programs with this population.
