背景资料:本研究采用大的全国代表性样本的白色,黑人,墨西哥裔美国人,波多黎各人,其他拉丁裔,亚裔美国人,和美国印第安人8年级的女孩来研究种族/民族的差异和相似性的模式,趋势,和社会经济相关的香烟use.Methods:数据来自密歇根大学的监测未来的研究。按种族/族裔亚组审查了女孩吸烟的流行率和趋势数据(1991年至2007年)。Logistic回归分析,以确定在何种程度上社会经济因素预测女孩的吸烟,以及是否社会经济地位(SES)和吸烟之间的关系不同的种族/ethnic Subgroup.Results:吸烟是最高的美国印第安女孩,在中等水平的墨西哥裔美国人,波多黎各,其他拉丁美洲人,和白色女孩;在黑人和亚裔美国女孩中,吸烟率最低,趋势数据显示,所有种族/民族亚组的吸烟率都有所下降,女孩吸烟率的种族/民族差异虽小但一直存在。一般来说,没有生活在双亲家庭、父母受教育程度较低、就读于社会经济地位较低的学校以及拥有更多可支配收入的女孩比同龄人更有可能吸烟。也就是说,然而,吸烟和父母的教育和学校SES之间的关系,平均而言,强于黑人或西班牙裔(墨西哥裔美国人,其他拉丁美洲人,波多黎各)女孩的白色女孩。结论:未来的研究应寻求了解低SES影响吸烟的机制。(C)2009爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Background: This study uses large nationally representative samples of White, Black, Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Other Latina, Asian American, and American Indian 8th-grade girls to examine racial/ethnic differences and similarities in patterns, trends, and socioeconomic correlates of cigarette use.Methods: The data are drawn from the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future study. Prevalence and trend data (from 1991 to 2007) in girls' cigarette use were examined by racial/ethnic subgroup. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the extent to which socioeconomic factors predict girls' cigarette use, and whether the relationships between socioeconomic status (SES) and smoking differed across racial/ethnic Subgroup.Results: Cigarette use was highest among American Indian girls; at an intermediate level among Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Other Latinas, and White girls; and lowest among Black and Asian American girls, Trend data show that cigarette use has declined for all racial/ethnic subgroups, and that small but consistent racial/ethnic differences in girls' cigarette use have persisted. Generally, girls who did not live in two-parent households, whose parents had lower levels of educational attainment, who attended lower SES schools, and who had more disposable income were more likely than their peers to smoke. That said, however, the relationships between smoking and parental education and school SES were, on average, stronger for White girls than for Black or Hispanic (Mexican American, Other Latina, Puerto Rican) girls.Conclusions: Future research should seek to understand the mechanisms by which low SES impacts smoking.
