没有哪个群体比美国印第安青年更容易受到与烟草有关的健康差距的影响。很少有人知道他们是否准备戒烟，以及戒烟计划在多大程度上可能需要与招聘，实施或内容相关的文化定制。这项研究确定了美国印第安青少年吸烟者的独特特征，他们参加了以学校为基础的戒烟计划，不吸烟（称为N-O-T）。利用2001年至2004年在北卡罗来纳州进行的N-O-T干预试验的数据，本研究（a）描述了美国印第安人参与者（n= 91）的特征;（B）确定基本人口统计学和吸烟史是否影响干预准备;（c）将结果与同一州内参加N-O-T的非本地参与者（n= 138）进行比较。在登记时，80%的样本报告说，他们计划在未来1-6个月内戒烟。我们发现美国印第安人和非土著青年之间的吸烟史有显着差异，非土著人吸烟的强度和频率更大。与以前的报告相反，这项研究中的美国印第安青年吸烟强度较低，比非土著青年更愿意戒烟。结果揭示了以前未报告的美国印第安青少年吸烟者的特征。研究结果可能会促进美国印第安青少年吸烟者的有效营销，招聘和编程的发展，特别是N-O-T，这是唯一的青少年戒烟计划，其中包括专门针对美国印第安人的适应。
No group is more at-risk for tobacco-related health disparities than are American Indian youth. Little is known about their readiness to quit smoking and the extent to which cessation programs may require cultural tailoring related to recruitment, implementation, or content. This study identifies unique characteristics of American Indian teen smokers who enrolled in a school-based smoking cessation program, Not On Tobacco (called N-O-T). Using data from N-O-T intervention trials conducted in North Carolina between 2001 and 2004, the present study (a) describes the characteristics of American Indian participants (n= 91); (b) determines if basic demographics and smoking history affect intervention readiness; and (c) compares findings with non-Native participants (n= 138) enrolled in N-O-T within the same state. Upon enrollment, 80% of the sample reported that they planned to quit smoking in the next 1–6 months. We found significant differences between American Indian and non-Native youth on smoking history, with non-Natives smoking with greater intensity and frequency. Contrary to previous reports, American Indian youth in this study smoked with less intensity and were more ready to quit smoking than non-Native youth. Results reveal previously unreported characteristics of American Indian teen smokers. Study findings may advance the development of effective marketing, recruitment, and programming among American Indian teen smokers into cessation programs, particularly N-O-T, which is the only teen smoking cessation program which includes an adaptation specifically for American Indians.
