  Abstract

Objective: Describe the prevalence and correlates of cigarette smoking in two American Indian reservation populations. Methods: Multinomial logistic regression on data from a population-based, cross-sectional study of Southwest and Northern Plains American Indians aged 15-54. Results: 19% of Southwest men, 10% of Southwest women, 49% of Northern Plains men and 51% of Northern Plains women were current smokers. Male gender and younger age were associated with higher odds of smoking in the Southwest tribe, whereas current or former marriage and less time spent on a reservation were associated with higher odds of smoking in the Northern Plains population. Alcohol consumption was strongly associated with higher odds of smoking in both groups. Conclusions: Cigarette smoking is a major public health issue among American Indians. Comprehensive, culturally appropriate interventions are needed.

Key Words: Native Americans, Tobacco
