我们调查了康涅狄格州4至12年级学生（n= 31，861）中无烟烟草使用的流行率及其与其他危险行为的关系。4-8年级学生中使用无烟烟草的不到1%，9-12年级学生中使用无烟烟草的不到4%。82%的使用者是白色男性。在高中男生中，使用者的冒险行为和压力和抑郁情绪的患病率显着高于非使用者。在高中男生中，吸烟和无烟烟草的联合使用者报告的危险行为和压力指标的患病率最高。(C)2000年青少年服务专业人员协会。
We examined the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use, and its relationship to other risky behaviors in Connecticut school children in grades four through 12 (n=31,861). Less than one per cent of students in grades 4-8, and four per cent of those in grades 9-12, used smokeless tobacco. Eighty-two percent of all users were white males. Among high school males, the prevalences of risk-taking behaviors and feelings of stress and depression were significantly higher among users than non-users. Among high school males, the highest prevalences of risky behaviors and stress indicators were reported by joint users of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
