简介：对烟草制品的危害认识可能会影响开始、继续使用和戒烟的努力。我们评估了成人传统烟草产品使用与传统和替代烟草产品的绝对危害感知之间的关联。我们还描述了个人在上次搜索信息时寻找的主题，他们对香烟/香烟烟雾中化学物质的信念，以及两者与伤害感知的关系。方法：我们运行了具有重叠重复权重的多变量模型，以分析2015年美国国家癌症研究所健康信息全国趋势调查的数据结果：与从不使用者相比，个人报告的他们使用的产品的伤害感知水平较低。在目前的烟草使用者中，种族，对烟草中化学物质的思考和信息寻求都是与烟草产品危害认知相关的因素。在完整的样本中，一些受访者报告说，搜索有关健康影响和戒烟的信息，并持有误解的化学物质在tobacco.Conclusions的来源：本研究填补了文献中的空白，通过评估各种传统和替代烟草产品的绝对危害的看法。烟草制品的危害认知各不相同，烟草使用、信息寻求、对烟草制品中化学物质的看法和危害认知之间的关系是复杂的。数据表明，一些人搜索有关健康影响和戒烟的信息，并对烟草制品中的化学物质存在误解。未来的调查可能会试图了解有助于形成对烟草制品中化学品的危害认识和信念的机制。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Introduction: Harm perceptions about tobacco products may influence initiation, continued use, and cessation efforts. We assessed associations between adult traditional tobacco product use and absolute harm perceptions of traditional and alternative tobacco products. We also described the topics individuals looked for during their last search for information, their beliefs about chemicals in cigarettes/cigarette smoke, and how both relate to harm perceptions.Methods: We ran multivariable models with jackknife replicate weights to analyze data from the 2015 administration of the National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey (N = 3376).Results: Compared to never users, individuals reported lower perceived levels of harm for products they use. Among current tobacco users, ethnicity, thinking about chemicals in tobacco, and information-seeking were all factors associated with tobacco product harm perceptions. In the full sample, some respondents reported searching for information about health effects and cessation and held misperceptions about the source of chemicals in tobacco.Conclusions: This study fills a gap in the literature by assessing the absolute harm perceptions of a variety of traditional and alternative tobacco products. Harm perceptions vary among tobacco products, and the relationship among tobacco use, information seeking, thoughts about chemicals in tobacco products, and harm perceptions is complex. Data suggest that some individuals search for information about health effects and cessation and hold misperceptions about chemicals in tobacco products. Future inquiry could seek to understand the mechanisms that contribute to forming harm perceptions and beliefs about chemicals in tobacco products. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
