Abstract

Latino/a youth are at risk for cigarette smoking. This risk seems to increase as youth navigate the U.S. cultural context, especially for girls. To investigate how acculturation may influence Latino/a youths' intentions to use cigarettes, this study combines a bidimensional/multidomain model of acculturation and the Theory of Reasoned Action. Our sample consisted of 303 recent Latino/a immigrant youth who had resided in the United States for five years or less at baseline (141 girls, 160 boys; 153 from Miami, 150 from Los Angeles) who completed surveys at 3 time-points. Youth completed measures of acculturation (Latino/a practices, Latino/a identity, collectivistic values; U.S. cultural practices, U.S. identity, individualistic values), smoking related health risk attitudes, perceived subjective norms regarding smoking, and intentions to use cigarettes. Structural equation modeling indicated that collectivistic values were associated with more perceived disapproval of smoking, which in turn was negatively associated with intentions to smoke. Collectivistic values may help protect Latino/a immigrant youth from intending to smoke. Thus, educational smoking prevention efforts could promote collectivistic values and disseminate messages about the negative consequences of smoking on interpersonal relationships.

拉丁裔/亚裔青少年吸烟意向:探索文化和性别的作用。
拉美裔青少年有吸烟的风险。这种风险似乎会随着青少年在美国文化环境中的摸爬滚打而增加,尤其是对女孩而言。为了研究文化适应如何影响拉美裔青少年的吸烟意向,本研究结合了文化适应的双维/多域模型和理性行动理论。我们的样本包括 303 名在美国居住 5 年或更短时间的新近拉丁裔/a 族移民青少年(141 名女孩,160 名男孩;153 名来自迈阿密,150 名来自洛杉矶),他们在 3 个时间点完成了调查。青少年完成了对文化适应性(拉美文化习俗、拉美身份认同、集体主义价值观;美国文化习俗、美国身份认同、个人主义价值观)、与吸烟有关的健康风险态度、对吸烟的主观规范感知以及吸烟意愿的测量。结构方程模型显示,集体主义价值观与更多的吸烟不赞成感知相关,而吸烟不赞成感知反过来又与吸烟意愿负相关。集体主义价值观可能有助于保护拉美裔移民青少年不打算吸烟。因此,预防吸烟的教育工作可以促进集体主义价值观,并传播吸烟对人际关系产生负面影响的信息。
