Adult current smoking: differences in definitions and prevalence estimates-NHIS and NSDUH, 2008
Ryan H , Trosclair A , Gfroerer J . J Environ Public Health 2012 2012 918368 OBJECTIVES: To compare prevalence estimates and assess issues related to the measurement of adult cigarette smoking in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). METHODS: 2008 data on current cigarette smoking and current daily cigarette smoking among adults ≥18 years were compared. The standard NHIS current smoking definition, which screens for lifetime smoking ≥100 cigarettes, was used. For NSDUH, both the standard current smoking definition, which does not screen, and a modified definition applying the NHIS current smoking definition (i.e., with screen) were used. RESULTS:. NSDUH consistently yielded higher current cigarette smoking estimates than NHIS and lower daily smoking estimates. However, with use of the modified NSDUH current smoking definition, a notable number of subpopulation estimates became comparable between surveys. Younger adults and racial/ethnic minorities were most impacted by the lifetime smoking screen, with Hispanics being the most sensitive to differences in smoking variable definitions among all subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in current cigarette smoking definitions appear to have a greater impact on smoking estimates in some sub-populations than others. Survey mode differences may also limit intersurvey comparisons and trend analyses. Investigators are cautioned to use data most appropriate for their specific research questions. |
Cigarette smoking - United States, 1965-2008
Garrett BE , Dube SR , Trosclair A , Caraballo RS , Pechacek TF . MMWR Suppl 2011 60 (1) 109-13 Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States, resulting in an estimated 443,000 premature deaths and $193 billion in direct health-care expenditures and productivity losses each year (1). The prevalence of cigarette smoking among youth and adult smokers has declined, but that decline has stalled during the past 5 years among adults (2,3). Despite overall declines in cigarette smoking, disparities in smoking and other tobacco use still persist among certain racial/ethnic minority groups, particularly among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) (4). In addition to racial/ethnic disparities in cigarette smoking, other groups have higher prevalence of cigarette smoking, with higher use reported among persons with low socioeconomic status; persons with histories of mental health and substance abuse conditions; the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community; and persons living in the South and Midwest regions of the United States (5--7). | | Each day in the United States, approximately 3,900 persons aged 12--17 years smoke their first cigarette, and an estimated 1,000 adolescents become daily cigarette smokers (8). The vast majority of persons who begin smoking during adolescence are addicted to nicotine by age 20 (9). Among youth, factors associated with smoking include low socioeconomic status, low academic achievement (e.g., poor grades and absenteeism), high-risk sexual behavior, and use of alcohol and other drugs (9,10). As with adult smoking, racial/ethnic differences in cigarette smoking exist among youth smokers, with AI/ANs having the highest prevalence of cigarette smoking, particularly among females. In comparison, youth smoking among black females has consistently been lower and has declined during past years. These declines have contributed to the overall lower prevalence of cigarette smoking among black youth smokers (2). |
Smoking among adults reporting lifetime depression, anxiety, anxiety with depression, and major depressive episode, United States, 2005-2006
Trosclair A , Dube SR . Addict Behav 2009 35 (5) 438-43 OBJECTIVES: To describe rates of current smoking among persons with and without lifetime anxiety, depression, anxiety with depression, or major depressive episode. METHODS: Data on 73024 adult respondents from the 2005-2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health were used to examine smoking status, intensity, frequency, dependence, and quit rates among persons with and without self-reported lifetime history of depression, anxiety, anxiety with depression, or major depressive episode (LDAMDE). RESULTS: Of persons with LDAMDE, 33% were current smokers, while 22.5% of persons who did not report LDAMDE were current smokers. Persons with LDAMDE were heavier and more frequent smokers and had lower quit rates and higher dependence compared to persons with no LDAMDE. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to persons with no LDAMDE, persons with LDAMDE are more likely to be current smokers, smoke with higher intensity and frequency, have more dependence, and have lower success at quitting. The present study further underscores the need to address nicotine dependence as well as underlying mental health conditions that are known to be comorbid with smoking. |
State-specific prevalence and trends in adult cigarette smoking, United States
Davis S , Malarcher A , Thorne S , Maurice E , Trosclair A , Mowery P . Oncol Times 2009 31 (13) 36-8 Cigarette smoking in the United States results in an estimated 443,000 premature deaths and $193 billion in direct health care expenditures and productivity losses each year.1 During 2007, an estimated 19.8% of adults in the United States were current smokers.2 To update 2006 state-specific estimates of cigarette smoking, CDC analyzed data from the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey and examined trends in cigarette smoking from 1998 to 2007. | The results of these analyses indicated substantial variation in current cigarette smoking during 2007 (range of 8.7% to 31.1%) among the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. | Trend analyses of 1998–2007 data indicated that smoking prevalence decreased in 44 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and six states had no substantial changes in prevalence after controlling for age, sex, and race/ethnicity. | However, only Utah and the US Virgin Islands met the Healthy People 2010 target for reducing adult smoking prevalence to 12% (Objective 27-1a).3 The Institute of Medicine (IOM) calls for full implementation of comprehensive, evidence-based tobacco control programs at CDC-recommended funding levels to achieve substantial reductions in tobacco use in all states and areas.4 |
