Racial and Ethnic Tobacco Disparities in the U.S. Military

Abstract

Background. Rates of tobacco in the U.S. military have historically been higher than civilian populations. Tobacco disparities in civilian adult and adolescent populations exist. Current use (of any product) is highest among non Hispanic Native American, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and multiracial individuals compared to other racial/ethnic backgrounds. Less is understood about military racial/ethnic tobacco disparities. Objectives. Compare prevalence rates of current tobacco use by race/ethnicity in a large sample of U.S. Air Force trainees.
