20 世纪 90 年代，大学生吸烟率增加了近 30%。尽管大多数大学生在 18 岁之前就开始吸烟，但最近的证据表明，相当一部分本科生表示在大学期间就开始吸烟。这项研究调查了美国西南部一所大型公立大学的本科生样本中同时饮酒和吸烟的情况，以及饮酒和开始吸烟之间的关系。我们为这项研究定义了三类吸烟状况：从不吸烟者 (n = 777)、实验者 (n = 15 8) 和吸烟者 (n = 178)。实验者和吸烟者均表示，与从不吸烟者相比，过去 28 天内每次饮酒量显着增加，过去 2 周一次饮酒量显着增加；然而，实验者和吸烟者在这两种消费指标上没有显着差异。两个多项逻辑回归模型的结果表明，在控制人口统计和其他药物使用协变量后，饮酒量和饮酒频率的测量与实验者或吸烟者显着相关。逻辑回归分析的结果显示，在参加调查前 12 个月表示自己根本不吸烟的受访者中，过去一年的饮酒频率与开始吸烟之间存在显着关系。探讨饮酒对大学生吸烟的影响。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
During the decade of the 1990s, smoking prevalence increased nearly 30% in the college student population. Although most college students initiate smoking before the age of 18, recent evidence suggests a sizable minority of undergraduates report starting smoking while in college. This study examined the concurrent use of alcohol and tobacco as well as the relationship between alcohol use and smoking initiation among a sample of undergraduate students attending a large public university in the southwestern United States. We defined three categories of smoking status for this study: never smokers (n = 777), experimenters (n = 15 8), and smokers (n = 178). Both experimenters and smokers reported consuming significantly more drinks per occasion in the past 28 days and more drinks on one occasion in the past 2 weeks compared to never smokers; however, there was no significant difference between experimenters and smokers on either of these measures of consumption. The results of two multinomial logistic regression models showed that measures of alcohol consumption and drinking frequency were significantly associated with being an experimenter or smoker after controlling for demographic and other drug use covariates. Results of a logistic regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between past year drinking frequency and smoking initiation among respondents who reported that they were not smoking at all 12 months prior to their survey participation. The influence of alcohol consumption on smoking initiation among college students is discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
