这项研究的目的是审查与酒精和烟草使用有关的族裔群体健康行为的决定因素。一个横断面问卷调查进行了网络抽样之间的社区团体在英国泰晤士河南部地区。确定了自我分类的族裔群体：非洲黑人、加勒比黑人、印度人、巴基斯坦人、孟加拉人和中国人/越南人。共有1113人参加了这项研究。在所有族裔群体中，男性比女性更有可能吸烟。在南亚社区，嚼食平底锅和烟草很常见，加勒比黑人群体的酒精消费量很高。这些因素是由教育、就业、性别和出生在英国预测的。重要的是要审查这些风险行为的决定因素，以帮助适当确定健康促进干预措施的目标，特别是与癌症控制有关的干预措施。
The purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of the health behaviour of ethnic groups in relation to alcohol and tobacco use. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was carried out using network sampling amongst community groups in the South Thames region of the United Kingdom. Self-classified ethnic groups were identified: Black-African; Black-Caribbean; Indian; Pakistani; Bangladeshi and Chinese/ Vietnamese. A total of 1113 people were recruited in the study. In all of the ethnic groups, men were more likely than women to smoke tobacco. Chewing of pan and tobacco was common in the South Asian communities and alcohol consumption was high among the Black-Caribbean group. Those factors were predicted by education, employment, gender and being born in the UK. It is important to examine the determinants of such risk behaviours in order to aid appropriate targeting of health promotion interventions, particularly those related to cancer control.
