New NIMHD-supported research, published in the Annals of Epidemiology, sheds light on the influence of language acculturation on cigarette consumption. The study found that, as Latino and Hispanic individuals become more acculturated to the English language and U.S. culture, their cigarette use tends to rise. This trend occurs particularly among men. The study also showed that cigarette consumption varied based on educational attainment.
The study highlights the importance of tailoring smoking prevention and cessation strategies for the Latino and Hispanic community with language and culture in mind.
The study utilized data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) project, which is directed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and supported by NIMHD.
