来自柬埔寨、老挝和越南的1403名来自柬埔寨、老挝和越南的成年移民男性(n=783)和女性(n=620)目前居住在俄亥俄州中部，他们接受了访谈，以确定他们自我报告的吸烟流行率，并对他们的吸烟状况进行了生化确认。与受试者的社会人口学、文化适应和吸烟史有关的变量也被调查了，这些变量与吸烟状况的错误分类有关。男性和女性目前的自我报告吸烟率分别为40.9%和5.6%。在通过唾液可替宁试验(吸烟者状态和GT；或=14 ng/ml)验证受试者的吸烟状况后，发现吸烟率更高，男性为43.7%，女性为14.8%。教育年限、自我报告的吸烟状况、原籍国和医疗保健支付方式是错误分类的显著预测因素。这些发现表明，东南亚成年女性的吸烟率比之前报道的要高。变量预测错误分类的吸烟状况，并讨论了他们的影响，临床医生和研究人员。
A total of 1,403 Southeast Asian adult immigrant males (n = 783) and females (n = 620) from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam who currently resided in Central Ohio were interviewed to determine the self-reported smoking prevalence among them, and underwent biochemical confirmation of their smoking status. Variables having to do with the subjects' sociodemography, acculturation, and smoking history that were related to the misclassification of smoking status were also investigated. Self-reported current smoking rates were 40.9% and 5.6% for males and females, respectively. After verification of the subjects' smoking status by saliva cotinine assay (smoker status > or = 14 ng/ml), the rates of smoking were found to be greater, at 43.7% for males and 14.8% for females. Years of education, self-reported smoking status, country of origin, and method of healthcare payment were significant predictors of misclassification. These findings suggest that the prevalence of smoking is higher among Southeast Asian adult females than has been previously reported. Variables that predict misclassification with regard to smoking status are presented, and their implications for clinicians and researchers are discussed.
