Association of Cigarette Smoking With Interpersonal and Self-Directed Violence in a Large Community-Based Sample

摘要: INTRODUCTION: Substance use is a major risk factor for various forms of violence, yet how cigarette smoking influences violence outcomes incompletely understood. We investigated associations between and three types in large, nationally representative, community-based sample. METHODS: Adult subjects participating both Wave 1 (2001- 2002; N=43,093) 2 (2004-2005; N=34,653) the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol Related Conditions (NESARC) were stratified by daily status at 1, individuals with unchanged waves analyzed [non-smokers (consisting never former smokers): N=22,529; smokers: N=7,442]. created composites other- self-directed victimization occurring Waves 2, performed logistic regression models, controlling psychiatric diagnoses, alcohol substance use, relevant demographic covariates. RESULTS: Daily smokers 2.1 (95% CI: 1.5-3.0), 2.5 (2.1-2.9), 1.7 (1.5-2.1) times more likely than non-smokers to report other-directed or respectively. Former significantly less who smokers. CONCLUSIONS: temporally associated multiple compared smokers, even when common covariates are controlled. Smoking should be carefully controlled studies designed identify factors may useful component assessment. Language: en
