公众的无烟政策支持有助于政策的有效采纳,实施,和影响。此外,个人可能会从事减少二手烟暴露(SHSe)的行为。这项研究调查了与无烟政策支持和减少SHSe行为相关的因素。
方法:我们分析了第比利斯一所大型医科大学的261名学生(Mage=22.26,SD=2.76;55.6%为女性)的横断面调查数据,格鲁吉亚。多元回归分析评估了社会人口统计学,烟草使用,上周SHSe,感知到的SHSe风险,以及与无烟政策支持有关的无烟政策有效性;避免使用SHSe;并要求其他人熄灭香烟。
结果:总体而言,38.3%报告目前吸烟,62.8%的人和吸烟的人住在一起,SHSe的平均天数为4.07(SD=2.17)。SHSe的大多数公共来源是开放的(58.2%)和封闭的公共场所(24.1%)。大多数人支持在封闭(94.6%)和开放的公共场所(59.8%)禁止吸烟;71.6%的人认为它应该包括其他地方。感知风险的平均评分相对较高(M=3.38,1=不-4=严重),但感知无烟政策有效性(M=2.51,1=不-4=相当)和避免SHSe的平均评分较低(M=3.32,1=从不-5=总是);58.6%的人要求某人熄灭香烟。加大无烟政策支持力度,避免SHSe,和要求某人熄灭香烟(分别)与不吸烟状态和更大的感知SHSe风险(p's<.01)相关。
结论:尽管格鲁吉亚普遍支持无烟政策和参与减少SHSe的行为,需要额外的努力来减少SHSe(例如,提高SHSe风险意识的媒体宣传活动,让不吸烟的成年人参与执法)。
Public smoke-free policy support can contribute to effective policy adoption, implementation, and impact. Furthermore, individuals may engage in behaviors to reduce secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe). This study examined factors associated with smoke-free policy support and behaviors to reduce SHSe.
METHODS: We analyzed cross-sectional survey data among 261 students (Mage=22.26, SD=2.76; 55.6% female) at a large medical university in Tbilisi, Georgia. Multivariable regression analyses assessed sociodemographics, tobacco use, past-week SHSe, perceived risk of SHSe, and perceived smoke-free policy effectiveness in relation to smoke-free policy support; SHSe avoidance; and having asked others to put out cigarettes.
RESULTS: Overall, 38.3% reported current smoking, 62.8% lived with someone who used tobacco, and the average number of days of SHSe was 4.07 (SD=2.17). Most commons SHSe sources were open (58.2%) and closed public places (24.1%). The majority supported the smoking ban in closed (94.6%) and open public places (59.8%); 71.6% believed it should include other places. Average ratings were relatively high for perceived risk (M=3.38, 1=no-4=serious) but lower for perceived smoke-free policy effectiveness (M=2.51, 1=not-4=quite) and avoidance of SHSe (M=3.32, 1=never-5=always); 58.6% had asked someone to put out cigarettes. Greater smoke-free policy support, avoidance of SHSe, and having asked someone to put out cigarettes (respectively) were associated with nonsmoking status and greater perceived SHSe risk (p\'s<.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite general support for smoke-free policy and engagement in SHSe reduction behaviors in Georgia, additional efforts to reduce SHSe are needed (e.g., media campaigns to raise SHSe risk awareness, engaging nonsmoking adults in enforcement).
