“…19 One study 25 developed a "language acculturation scale" including a number of items. Several studies included scales that assessed multidimensional aspects of acculturation: specifically, the "Active Cultural Retention" measure, 20 which includes measures of language use at home, attendance at cultural events, and liking ethnic music; the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics, which incorporates assessment of language use, media, and ethnic social relations and has been shown to be applicable in Chinese populations 31 ;…”

were extracted from Canadian and American studies for population characteristics, study design, measures of smoking and acculturation, and findings regarding smoking rates and associations between smoking and acculturation. SYNTHESIS:The literature search identified 147 articles, and 14 met inclusion criteria. Three studies were based on Canadian samples and the remaining 11 were from the United States. Of the 14 papers, 3 reported findings for youth and 11 for adults. Among adults, daily smoking rates were consistently much higher in men than women; for men, rates varied from 9% to 30%. Language use and time in North America were the most common indicators of acculturation. Almost all studies found a relationship between acculturation and smoking, such that more acculturated men smoke less and more acculturated women smoke more. CONCLUSION:The findings suggest that the association between acculturation and smoking is gender-specific. This correlation is found in youth and adults and in both Canada and the US. Increased acculturation has a protective effect on smoking for Chinese North American men, but a harmful effect for women. Tobacco control interventions need to develop targeted strategies appropriate to these different populations. Smoking rates vary markedly internationally. For women, rates range from 1% (in Saudi Arabia) to 50% (in Nauru), and for men, rates go from a low of 8% (in Ethiopia) to 71% (in Kiribati). Rates in North America are intermediate, with 17% and 25% of women and 24% and 33% of men smoking in Canada and the United States respectively. 4 Individuals who emigrate from other parts of the world to North America often face many challenges in adjusting to their new homes, including differences in modal behaviours such as the prevalence of smoking. Immigrants from China comprise an interesting subgroup, since they are the largest group of immigrants to Canada (making up almost 13% of new Canadians) 5 and one of the largest groups in the US, accounting for 4.2% of new immigrants (after individuals from Mexico, India and the Philippines). 6 Smoking rates in China are 2% for women and 51% for men, both greatly different from North American rates. 4This paper reviews published literature on smoking rates in North Americans of Chinese origin, with an emphasis on understanding one of the most important factors affecting smoking in these individuals. Specifically, we focus on acculturation, which has been defined as "a complex, multidimensional process by which foreign born individuals adopt the values, customs, norms, attitudes, and behaviors of the mainstream culture".7 Acculturation plays a crucial role in many health behaviours, including smoking, diet and exercise.

INTRODUCTION Cigarette smoking initiation remains prevalent in adolescence. Effective prevention methods are needed to dissuade this behavior. Demographic factors are identified as important risk factors in the developmental nature of smoking in adolescence. The current study investigates potential demographic differences for two new trans-theoretical model measures, the Decisional Balance Inventory (pros and cons) for Smoking Prevention and the Temptations to Try Smoking Scale. METHODS A sample of 6th grade Rhode Island students from 20 middle schools (N = 4151) who were participating in a longitudinal and computer-delivered intervention for substance abuse prevention was assessed on these measures at baseline. Three MANOVA tests were conducted to assess the impact of race (White vs. Non-White), ethnicity (Hispanic vs. Non-Hispanic) and gender (male vs female). RESULTS Significant effects for race and ethnicity were found for Decisional Balance and Temptations to Try Smoking. For race, Whites reported lesser pros (p <.0001) and Non-Whites reported higher cons (p <.0001) and temptations to try smoking (p <.0001). Differences for ethnicity showed that Hispanics were higher on pros (p <.0001) and temptations to try smoking (p <.0001) than Non-Hispanics. Non-Hispanics reported higher cons (p <.0001). Gender differences were noted only for temptations to try smoking, and showed females were higher on this construct than males (p <.0001). The effect sizes were .01 or below. CONCLUSIONS The results did not demonstrate a strong association between these demographics and constructs, suggesting that tailored prevention methods based solely on these factors may not dissuade smoking in this group.

Ethno‐specific patterns of adolescent tobacco use and the mediating role of acculturation, peer smoking, and sibling smoking

Abstract: This paper demonstrates that disparities in tobacco use among certain ethnic groups can be explained by peer and sibling smoking and acculturation; however, for other ethnic groups, knowledge of the processes that account for differences in tobacco use remains less clear.
