Título
Cigarette Consumption and Ethnicity Among Youth in the Province of Jujuy
Consumo de cigarrillos y etnicidad en jóvenes de la provincia de Jujuy
Descripción
Latin America is the world region with the highest rates of youth tobacco use and the widest socioeconomic gaps. Although Indigenous peoples constitute the most disadvantaged social group in the region, no data are available on cigarette smoking in this population.
In 2004, a self-administered survey was conducted among 3,131 young people enrolled in a random sample of 27 urban and rural schools in the province of Jujuy, Argentina. Questions adapted from global tobacco-use surveys were used.
We found a higher percentage of current smokers, defined as those who had smoked in the previous month, among Indigenous youth (23%; 95% CI = 21–25) and those who self-identified as mixed Indigenous and European (23%; 95% CI = 18.9–27.1), compared with European youth (11.4%; 95% CI = 6.7–15.1).
The adjusted odds of smoking in the previous month were considerably higher for Indigenous youth (OR = 1.9; 95% CI = 1.1–3.3) and mixed Indigenous and European youth (OR = 2.0; 95% CI = 1.2–3.4), after controlling for sociodemographic and psychosocial risk factors.
Other psychosocial factors associated with current smoking included having at least one friend who smoked, repeating a grade in school, depressive symptoms during the previous year, an orientation toward risk-taking behaviors, and drinking alcoholic beverages during the previous week.
These results underscore the importance of addressing social and cultural diversity in the global tobacco epidemic.

América Latina es la región del mundo con las tasas más altas de uso de tabaco entre los jóvenes. También es la región con las más amplias brechas socioeconómicas. Aunque los pueblos indígenas constituyen el grupo social más desfavorecido en la región, no existen datos sobre el consumo de cigarrillos en esta población. En el 2004 se aplicó una encuesta auto-administrada a 3131 jóvenes inscriptos en una muestra aleatoria de 27 escuelas urbanas y rurales de la provincia de Jujuy, Argentina. Se usaron preguntas adaptadas de encuestas globales sobre tabaquismo. Encontramos un mayor porcentaje de fumadores corrientes (consumo en el último mes) entre los jóvenes indígenas (23%; 95% CI=21-25) y aquellos auto identificados como mezcla de indígena y europeo (23%; 95% CI=18.9-27.1), comparados con los europeos (11.4%; 95% CI=6.7-15.1). Las probabilidades ajustadas de consumo de cigarrillos en el último mes fueron considerablemente mas elevadas para jóvenes indígenas (OR=1.9; el 95% CI=1.1-3.3) y jóvenes mezcla de indígena y europeo (OR=2.0; 95% CI=1.2-3.4), luego de controlar por factores de riesgo sociodemográficos y psicosociales. Otros factores psicosociales que tuvieron que ver con el consumo corriente incluían: tener algún amigo fumador, repetir un grado en la escuela, síntomas depresivos el año anterior, orientación hacia comportamientos de riesgo y consumir bebidas alcohólicas durante la semana anterior. Estos resultados subrayan la importancia de abordar aspectos de diversidad social y cultural en la epidemia global de tabaquismo.
