Abstract

Two rounds of Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) were conducted in 2009-10 and 2016-17 in India. These two surveys provide national comparable data on tobacco usage and its related aspects in India. This study used the data from GATS 2016-17 to examine the salience and impact of cigarette pack pictorial health warnings (PHWs) on quit intention among current cigarette smokers in India. The nationally representative survey interviewed 74, 037 respondents aged ≥15 years with an overall response rate of 92.9% using a multi-stage sampling method. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the strongest predictor for quit intention because of health warnings was "ever made a quit attempt in the past 12 months" and buying cigarette packs instead of loose cigarettes. Compared to GATS 2009-10, GATS 2016-17 observed an increase in salience of cigarette health warnings by 16% and increase in the impact of PHWs on quit intention by 50%. PHWs have a significant impact on intention to quit among cigarette smokers in India with a rising trend. The efforts of Government of India in terms of periodic introduction of new PHWs and increase in the size of warning labels to 85% of the cigarette packs is laudable. The study results support ban on loose cigarettes and warrants stricter implementation of the act prohibiting sale of loose cigarettes.

印度烟盒上健康警示标签的影响：2016-17年全球成人烟草调查》。

印度分别于 2009-10 年和 2016-17 年开展了两轮全球成人烟草调查（GATS）。这两次调查提供了印度烟草使用及其相关方面的全国可比数据。本研究利用2016-17年全球成人烟草调查的数据，研究了烟盒图形方式健康警示（PHW）在印度当前吸烟者中的显著性及其对戒烟意向的影响。这项具有全国代表性的调查采用多阶段抽样方法，共访问了74 037名年龄≥15岁的受访者，总体应答率为92.9%。多变量分析结果表明，因健康警示而产生戒烟意向的最强预测因素是 "在过去12个月中曾尝试戒烟 "和购买烟盒而不是散装香烟。与2009-10年的GATS相比，2016-17年的GATS观察到卷烟健康警示的显著性提高了16%，公共卫生人员对戒烟意向的影响提高了50%。在印度，公共卫生人员对吸烟者的戒烟意向有重大影响，并呈上升趋势。印度政府定期推出新的公共卫生小贩，并将警示标签的尺寸增加到烟盒的 85%，这些努力值得称赞。研究结果支持禁止散装香烟，并要求更严格地执行禁止销售散装香烟的法律。

期刊介绍： Behavioral Medicine is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, which fosters and promotes the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of theory in the field of behavioral medicine, including but not limited to understandings of disease prevention, health promotion, health disparities, identification of health risk factors, and interventions designed to reduce health risks, ameliorate health disparities, enhancing all aspects of health. The journal seeks to advance knowledge and theory in these domains in all segments of the population and across the lifespan, in local, national, and global contexts, and with an emphasis on the synergies that exist between biological, psychological, psychosocial, and structural factors as they related to these areas of study and across health states. Behavioral Medicine publishes original empirical studies (experimental and observational research studies, quantitative and qualitative studies, evaluation studies) as well as clinical/case studies. The journal also publishes review articles, which provide systematic evaluations of the literature and propose alternative and innovative theoretical paradigms, as well as brief reports and responses to articles previously published in Behavioral Medicine.
