目的：提供亚裔美国人（AA）和夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民（NHPI）烟草使用的国家描述，并强调有针对性的干预措施的考虑因素。研究方法：我们分析了2009-2010年全国成人烟草调查的数据，以了解各种烟草产品的流行率和消费量的亚组差异。结果：吸烟（包括薄荷醇）和其他形式的烟草的种族亚组的使用差异很大。尽管AANHPI较轻，频率较低，并且似乎不太依赖吸烟者，但AANHPI的戒烟率与非AANHPI相似。结论：AA和NHPI在烟草使用方面的差异可能是由于戒烟资源利用不足，包括非卷烟烟草产品，以及缺乏文化上适当的资源。应采用以社区为基础的监管办法，减少所有烟草制品的使用，特别是在高流行率的亚群体中。
Objectives: To provide a national depiction of Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NHPI) tobacco use and highlight considerations for targeted interventions. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2009-2010 National Adult Tobacco Survey for subgroup differences in prevalence and consumption of various tobacco products. Results: Use varies considerably by ethnic subgroups for cigarette smoking (including menthol) and other forms of tobacco. Despite being lighter, less frequent, and seemingly less dependent smokers, AANHPIs had similar quit ratios as non-AANHPIs. Conclusions: AA and NHPI disparities in tobacco use may be due to underutilization of cessation resources, including those for non-cigarette tobacco products, and lack of availability of culturally-appropriate resources. Community-based and regulatory approaches should be employed to reduce use of all tobacco products, especially among high prevalence subgroups.
