Hispanic/Latinx individuals’ attributions for abstinence and smoking: A content analysis of open-ended responses from a randomized cessation trial
Addictive Behaviors Reports(2023)
摘要
Introduction
Little is known about facilitators and barriers to smoking cessation among Hispanics seeking treatment. This secondary analysis examined attributions for abstinence or smoking among participants in a nationwide randomized controlled trial testing a self-help smoking cessation intervention among Spanish-speaking Hispanics in the United States (US).
Methods
At each follow-up assessment (6, 12, 18, and 24 months), participants (N = 1,417) responded to open-ended items regarding reasons for either abstinence or smoking. A content analysis was conducted using NVivo on the responses from 1,035 participants.
Results
Mood Management (e.g., stress and anxiety) was the most frequent reason for smoking across all timepoints. Concern for personal health and wellbeing was the most frequent reason cited for abstinence across all timepoints. Important barriers (e.g., financial stressors, environmental disasters) and facilitators (e.g., family, faith) were also identified. Quantitative subgroup analyses revealed differences in the frequency of abstinence and smoking attributions by sex, marital status, and annual household income.
Conclusion
The identified facilitators and barriers to abstinence support and expand findings from previous studies by using a geographically and ethnically diverse sample of treatment seeking, Spanish-preferring smokers. They also provide specific targets for tailoring cessation and relapse prevention interventions designed to improve cessation outcomes and reduce tobacco-related health disparities among Hispanics in the US.
