我们在北卡罗来纳州的2129名非裔美国大学生中研究了感知到的种族/民族骚扰与烟草使用之间的关联。经方差调整和多变量分析评估了骚扰对每日和少于每日烟草使用的影响。与没有报告骚扰经历的人相比，受骚扰的参与者每天使用烟草的可能性是两倍（比值比= 2.01; 95%置信区间= 1.94，2.08）。种族/民族骚扰的经历可能会导致一些非洲裔美国年轻人的烟草使用行为。
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.
