导言:虽然风险认知和戒烟意向之间的关系已经建立,但很少有研究探索吸烟水平对这些关联的潜在影响,而且还没有人在不同年龄的多个种族的样本中这样做。方法:参与者的年龄从25岁到81岁不等,包括1133名非每日吸烟者(在过去30天中有4到24天吸食1支香烟),556名每日少量吸烟者(每天吸烟556支),以及585名中度到重度吸烟者(每天10支香烟)。每种吸烟水平包括大约相同数量的非裔美国人、拉丁裔和白人。对社会人口学、自评健康、每天第一支烟的时间和吸烟水平进行了调整后的Logistic回归分析,用来检验风险认知(获得肺癌、肺部疾病和心脏病的感知风险)与戒烟意图(6个月/从不)之间的关系。第二个调整后的模型通过吸烟水平和交互作用项来测试适度性。结果:风险意识越强,计划在6个月内戒烟的几率越高(AOR=134,CI.95=1.24,1.45)。吸烟水平并没有抑制这种联系(p=.85)。结论:结果表明,教育所有吸烟者,无论他们的吸烟水平如何,增加患吸烟相关疾病的风险可能是一个有用的策略,以增强他们尝试戒烟的意愿。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Introduction: Although the relationship between risk perceptions and quit intentions has been established, few studies explore the potential impact of smoking level on these associations, and none have done so among diversely-aged samples of multiple ethnicities.Methods: Participants, ranging in age from 25 to 81, were 1133 nondaily smokers (smoked >= 1 cigarette on 4 to 24 days in the past 30 days), 556 light daily smokers cigarettes per day), and 585 moderate to heavy daily smokers (>10 cigarettes per day). Each smoking level comprised approximately equal numbers of African Americans, Latinos, and Whites. A logistic regression analysis, adjusted for sociodemographics, self-rated health, time to the first cigarette of the day and smoking level, was used to examine the association between risk perception (perceived risk of acquiring lung cancer, lung disease, and heart disease) and intention to quit (6 months/never). A second adjusted model tested moderation by smoking level with an interaction term.Results: Greater risk perception was associated with a higher odds of planning to quit within 6 months (AOR = 134, CI.95 = 1.24, 1.45). Smoking level did not moderate this association (p = .85).Conclusions: Results suggest that educating all smokers, irrespective of their smoking level, about increased risk of developing smoking-related diseases might be a helpful strategy to enhance their intention to make a smoking quit attempt.
