DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): According to the Year 2000 census in the Peoples Republic of China, there were approximately 121 million rural-to-urban migrants in China. It is estimated that the migrant population in China will grow at the rate of 5 million per year over the next 5-10 years. Discrimination, rapid mobility, instability of living and employment conditions, and increased influence of urban lifestyles are all factors that likely contribute to increased vulnerability to risk behaviors. One of these behaviors is the initiation of smoking among women. Little research on this vulnerable group has been done (since only 4.6% of women were current smokers in 1996), yet this group has been targeted by the tobacco industry for market expansion, segmentation, and brand development. We have previously conducted tobacco industry document research outlining targeting activity by the multinational tobacco industry, focus groups among young women to identify research themes, and a large sample survey of school-based women ages 18-24 years. In addition, we completed a pilot study of hotel, restaurant, and entertainment working women to test our survey and access opportunities to this subpopulation. We propose to conduct a behavioral survey among rural-urban migrant women working in the hotel, restaurant, and entertainment industries to assess susceptibility to smoking initiation; recognition of direct and indirect advertising directed towards women; and knowledge about, attitudes toward, and behavior regarding tobacco use in China. We also propose to use a novel data collection and management method (a Handheld Assisted Personal Interview system [HAPI]) for this behavior research in order to help develop research capacity within the Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The results of this research will be of use to the Chinese CDC in planning interventions specific to the vulnerable population of young Chinese rural-urban migrant women. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will conduct a behavioral survey of young Chinese women who migrant for work from rural to urban areas. They are particularly vulnerable to behavioral risks, including smoking initiation. We will use handheld pocket computers to collect data from women in health examination stations and work venues in 10 urban areas. This will permit intervention planning for prevention of smoking initiation among young Chinese women.

描述（由申请人提供）：根据中华民国 2000 年人口普查，中国约有 1.21 亿农村人口进入城市。预计未来5-10年，中国流动人口将以每年500万的速度增长。歧视、快速流动、生活和就业条件的不稳定以及城市生活方式影响力的增加，都是可能导致风险行为脆弱性增加的因素。这些行为之一是女性开始吸烟。对这一弱势群体的研究很少（因为 1996 年只有 4.6% 的女性是当前吸烟者），但烟草业已将这一群体作为市场扩张、细分和品牌开发的目标。我们之前进行过烟草行业文件研究，概述了跨国烟草行业的目标活动、年轻女性焦点小组以确定研究主题，以及对 18-24 岁在校女性进行的大型抽样调查。此外，我们还完成了一项针对酒店、餐厅和娱乐场所职业女性的试点研究，以测试我们的调查和接触这一亚人群的机会。我们建议对在酒店、餐饮和娱乐行业工作的城乡流动妇女进行行为调查，以评估她们开始吸烟的易感性；承认针对妇女的直接和间接广告；中国对烟草使用的认识、态度和行为。我们还建议使用一种新颖的数据收集和管理方法（手持辅助个人访谈系统[HAPI]）进行这项行为研究，以帮助发展北京协和医学院和中国疾病预防控制中心（CDC）的研究能力。这项研究的结果将有助于中国疾病预防控制中心规划针对中国年轻农村城市流动妇女这一弱势群体的干预措施。公共卫生相关性：该项目将对从农村到城市地区务工的中国年轻女性进行行为调查。他们特别容易受到行为风险的影响，包括开始吸烟。我们将使用掌上电脑收集10个城市地区健康检查站和工作场所的妇女数据。这将有助于制定预防中国年轻女性吸烟的干预计划。
