Intersectional discrimination acutely and vicariously affects cessation outcomes and psychological processes between same-sex couples during a tobacco quit attempt
Introduction
Smoking-concordant, same-sex couples face multilevel contextual challenges in their cessation attempts. Cross-sectional studies have documented positive association between perceived discrimination (PD) and smoking to explain the differences between heterosexual/cisgender and LGBTQ + groups. However, acute effects of PD or intersectional PD on cessation outcomes are rarely studied, especially in the context of romantic couples who share concordant smoking status. In this study, we focused on cessation-related outcomes among same-sex/same-gender, smoking concordant couples during an unaided quit attempt and examined the acute and vicarious effects of PD and intersectional PD captured via 4-week daily assessments.
Methods
In 2021–2023, same-sex/same-gender couples (N = 103 dyads, aged 21–68, 48.5 % female couples) responded to daily assessments on smartphone at the end of the day during a 4-week smoking quit attempt. Participants reported the occurrence of PD and intersectional PD, cigarettes and other substances used that day, perceived quit stress, and quit support. Multilevel dyadic analyses were conducted to examine four cessation-related outcomes: (1) likelihood of cigarette smoking; (2) likelihood of co-using multiple substances; (3) quit stress; and (4) quit support.
Results
Participants’ own PD was associated with greater likelihood of smoking (p = 0.04), greater quit stress (p < 0.001) and lower quit support (p = 0.007), but not with co-using. PD experienced by one’s partner was acutely associated with increased smoking (p = 0.01) and lower quit support (p < 0.05). Intersectional PD acutely and vicariously was associated with quit stress and quit support (p’s < 0.01), but not with likelihood of cigarette smoking or co-using.
Discussion
We found that experiencing discrimination acutely leads to increased likelihood of smoking during a quit attempt among same-sex/same-gender smoking status concordant couples. We also documented adverse, vicarious effects of discrimination on quit-related process variables. Our findings suggest that coping strategies upon experiencing a discriminatory event may include smoking cigarettes, in part via the depletion of support received from one’s romantic partner.
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.
