加州的烟草控制计划签约对亚裔印度裔美国人进行烟草使用监测，以解决该社区烟草使用信息缺乏的问题，因为他们在加州人口中的比例不断增加。本研究以居住在加州的亚裔印度成年移民为样本，研究了传统烟草（CTU）和亚裔印度传统烟草使用（TTU）的相关性（N = 3228）。分析样本（n = 2140）仅限于自认为来自印度的移民。描述性统计，双变量分析和多变量logistic回归分析，以研究亚洲印度移民与他们的文化适应和宗教信仰之间的烟草使用的相关性。虽然65%的样本曾经使用过传统烟草产品（paan masala，gutka，bidis），但只有25%曾经使用过传统烟草（香烟，雪茄，烟斗，嚼烟，鼻烟）。不到5%的人报告在过去30天内吸烟。男性TTU和CTU的发生率高于女性。少数民族聚居地与烟草使用无关。精神健康受损与CTU相关，在美国生活的年数与CTU和TTU呈正相关。锡克教信徒使用烟草的可能性低于印度教信徒。在美国，很少有基于人口的研究同时涉及亚裔印度移民中CTU和TTU的使用。如果监测仅限于传统烟草产品，亚洲印度移民的烟草使用可能被严重低估。减少烟草使用的干预措施应解决心理健康问题，并考虑宗教归属。
California’s tobacco control program contracted for tobacco use surveillance of Asian Indian Americans to address the paucity of information about tobacco use in this community, given their growing proportion of California’s population. This study examined correlates of conventional (CTU) and Asian Indian traditional tobacco use (TTU) in a population-based sample of predominantly immigrant Asian Indian adults residing in California (N = 3228). The analytic sample (n = 2140) was limited to self-identified immigrants from India. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to examine correlates of tobacco use among Asian Indian immigrants related to their acculturation and religious affiliation. While 65% of the sample had ever used traditional tobacco products (paan masala, gutka, bidis), only 25% had ever used conventional tobacco (cigarettes, cigar, pipe, chewing tobacco, snuff). Less than 5% reported tobacco use in the past 30 days. Rates of ever TTU and CTU were higher among men than women. Ethnic enclave residence was not associated with tobacco use. Impaired mental health was associated with CTU, and number of years spent in the U.S. was positively associated with both CTU and TTU. Individuals affiliated with Sikhism were less likely to use tobacco than individuals affiliated with Hinduism. Few population-based studies in the U.S. address both CTU and TTU use among Asian Indian immigrants. Tobacco use in Asian Indian immigrants may be seriously underestimated if surveillance is limited to conventional tobacco products. Interventions to reduce tobacco use should address mental health issues and consider religious affiliation.
