UNASSIGNED: Participants were 391 adult Latin American immigrants (69% women); 12% self-reported tobacco/nicotine use in the past six months.
UNASSIGNED: Path analysis showed acculturative stress, β = .16, and acculturation, β = .20, were positively related to tobacco/nicotine use. Enculturation, familism, and Hispanic cultural identity were not related to tobacco/nicotine use. There were no significant acculturation by enculturation or gender interactions, but women were less likely to use tobacco/nicotine than men, β = -.36.
UNASSIGNED: Findings suggest that tobacco/nicotine cessation interventions for Latino immigrants may be enhanced with an emphasis on the mitigation of acculturative stress, attention to the adoption of US cultural practices, and gender. Future research should examine specific sources of acculturative stress or social norms related to tobacco/nicotine use.
■参与者是391名成年拉丁美洲移民(69%为女性);12%的人在过去六个月中自我报告使用烟草/尼古丁。
■通径分析显示,β=.16,文化适应,β=.20,与烟草/尼古丁使用呈正相关。文化,家族主义,和西班牙裔文化认同与烟草/尼古丁使用无关。没有通过圈养或性别互动的显著文化适应,但是女性使用烟草/尼古丁的可能性比男性低,β=-.36。
■研究结果表明,拉丁美洲移民的烟草/尼古丁戒烟干预措施可能会得到加强,重点是缓解适应压力,注意采用美国的文化习俗,和性别。未来的研究应该检查与烟草/尼古丁使用相关的适应压力或社会规范的具体来源。
