密西西比州惩教局（MDOC）调查了866名女囚犯的烟草使用情况和对戒烟计划的兴趣。问卷共27项，评估人口基本信息；使用烟草的类型，使用数量和频率，使用的触发因素，健康状况，家庭烟草使用和健康状况，烟草制品花费的金钱，戒烟尝试，戒烟动机和自我效能感，以及参与戒烟计划的兴趣。大部分女囚犯（73.9%）现时吸食烟草，71.5%吸烟，平均每天抽14.6支烟。大约12.5%的现有吸烟者报告有与烟草有关的医疗问题。大多数人（60.6%）曾至少一次尝试戒烟，只有24.5%的人“非常有信心”尝试戒烟。总体而言，64.2%的吸烟者报告有兴趣参加戒烟计划，重度吸烟者（71.4%）报告对参加该计划最感兴趣。目前烟草使用者的高百分比、对戒烟的高度关注以及与吸烟有关的健康问题的存在表明一个被忽视的巨大的公共和惩教卫生问题。(C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) surveyed 866 female prisoners about tobacco use and interest in a smoking cessation program. The 27-item questionnaire assessed basic demographic information; type of tobacco used, amounts and frequency of use, triggers for use, health status, family tobacco use and health status, money spent on tobacco products, cessation attempts, motivation and self-efficacy for smoking cessation, and interest in participating in a smoking cessation program. The majority of female inmates (73.9%) were cur-rent tobacco users and 71.5% smoked cigarettes, with a mean of 14.6 cigarettes per day (cpd). Approximately 12.5% of current smokers reported a tobacco-related medical problem. Most (60.6%) had made at least one attempt to quit smoking and only 24.5% felt "very confident" that they could quit if they made an attempt. Overall, 64.2% of the smokers reported interest in participating in the smoking cessation program, with heavier smokers (71.4%) reporting the most interest in enrolling in the program. The high percentage of current tobacco users, high level of interest in smoking cessation, and presence of smoking-related health problems indicate a tremendous public and correctional health problem that is being ignored.
