1978-1980年国家健康访谈调查吸烟问卷的数据被用来分析美国工人群体中吸烟的流行率和水平。这些信息对于职业流行病学研究中的间接调整以及描述广泛工作环境中工人的吸烟模式是有价值的。虽然在一般人口中,男性吸烟者的比例高于女性,但在特定职业中,男性和女性的吸烟率差别不大。此外,种族和就业状况对吸烟的流行率有影响,目前失业者和黑人的吸烟者比例普遍较高,尽管黑人的吸烟者比例普遍较高,但黑人吸烟较少。工业也在吸烟习惯的变化中发挥了重要作用。例如,特定职业的当前吸烟者的百分比根据他们所从事的行业而有高达25%的差异,例如经理和行政人员的52%与26%。详细数据将以微型计算机档案的形式提供给感兴趣的研究人员。
Data from the 1978–1980 National Health Interview Survey smoking questionnaire were used to analyze prevalence and levels of cigarette smoking among groups of US workers. This information is valuable for indirect adjustment in occupational epidemiology studies as well as for describing smoking patterns of workers in a wide range of job settings. Although there was a higher percentage of current smokers among men than women in the general population, there were few differences in prevalence of smoking among men and women for specific occupations. Also, race and employment status had an influence on prevalence of smoking, where both the currently unemployed and blacks generally had a higher proportion of current smokers, although blacks generally had a higher proportion of current smokers, although blacks smoked fewer cigarettes. Industry also played a major role in the variation of smoking habits. For instance, the percentage of current smokers of a given occupation had as much as a 25% difference depending on the industry they were employed, such as 52% vs 26% for managers and administrators. Detailed data will be made available as microcomputer files for interested researchers.
