Abstract

The present study examined tobacco health perceptions, regulation attitudes, and cessation intentions among California adults before and after the COVID-19 lockdown, given the pandemic's mixed impact on tobacco use. An online survey of California adults was conducted in two phases: pre-lockdown (March 2020, n = 1349) and post-lockdown (May 2020, n = 1201). Participants (M age 30.29 years; SD = 5.91) from both samples were predominately former or current smokers, male, and non-Hispanic White (>60% for all). This method allowed for a comparison of attitudes and behaviors across two distinct periods with two samples. There were significant differences between pre- and post-lockdown risk perceptions, regulatory attitudes, and cessation intentions. Examining shifts in perceptions and attitudes amidst the pandemic aids in understanding the complex and dynamic nature of tobacco behavior change through the lens of a major socioenvironmental event to guide future tobacco control efforts.

加州COVID-19封锁前后的烟草危害认知、监管态度和戒烟意向。

鉴于疫情对烟草使用的影响喜忧参半，本研究调查了加州成年人在COVID-19封锁前后对烟草健康的看法、监管态度和戒烟意图。一项针对加州成年人的在线调查分两个阶段进行：封锁前（2020年3月，n = 1349）和封锁后（2020年5月，n = 1201）。参与者(M年龄30.29岁；SD = 5.91)，主要是以前或现在的吸烟者、男性和非西班牙裔白人（占所有人的60%）。这种方法允许对两个不同时期的两个样本的态度和行为进行比较。在封城前和封城后的风险认知、监管态度和戒烟意图之间存在显著差异。通过重大社会环境事件的视角审视在大流行期间观念和态度的转变，有助于了解烟草行为变化的复杂性和动态性，从而指导今后的烟草控制工作。

期刊介绍： Health Psychology Open (HPO) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, online-only journal providing rapid publication. HPO is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in health psychology from around the world. HPO seeks to provide a platform for both traditional empirical analyses and more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches to health psychology. All areas of health psychology are covered, but these topics are of particular interest: Clinical health psychology Critical health psychology Community health psychology Health psychology practice Health psychology through a social, cultural or regional lens The journal particularly favours papers that focus on health psychology in practice, including submissions concerning community and/or clinical applications and interventions. Review articles are also welcomed. There is no fixed limit to the length of manuscripts, which is normally strictly limited in other journals, for example HPO’s sister journal, Journal of Health Psychology (JHP). Studies published in this journal are required to obtain ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board. Such approval must include informed, signed consent by all research participants. Any manuscript not containing an explicit statement concerning ethical approval and informed consent will not be considered.
