Abstract
Introduction
People with disabilities, approximately 25 % of the population, have a higher prevalence of smoking cigarettes and using various tobacco products; however, little is known about multiple tobacco product (MTP) use among this population. This study assessed patterns of MTP use among people with disabilities.
Methods
Data from the 2019–2022 National Health Interview Study were analyzed to estimate the prevalence of single tobacco, MTP, and specific combinations of MTP (multiple combusted, combusted and non-combusted) use among adults with any disability and six disability domains (cognitive, communication, hearing, mobility, self-care, vision). Multinomial logistic regression models examined the association between MTP use and disability status.
Results
People with any disability had higher odds of single tobacco product use (aOR = 1.35; 95 % CI 1.26, 1.45) and MTP use (aOR = 1.81; 95 % CI 1.57, 2.09) compared to those without any disability, which included multiple combusted use (aOR = 2.01; 95 % CI 1.62, 2.51) and multiple combusted/non-combusted use (aOR = 1.70; 95 % CI 1.43, 2.02). Higher odds of multiple combusted use were also found among those with cognitive, hearing, mobility, and vision disabilities and higher odds of multiple combusted/non-combusted use were found among those with cognitive and vision disabilities compared to those without the respective disability.
Conclusion
People with disabilities have higher odds of MTP use and therefore may be exposed to more toxicants and at risk for more severe nicotine dependence than those without a disability. Future research should investigate reasons for MTP use in this population and tailored cessation interventions may need to account for MTP use.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
