| description | Introduction
Social deprivation is a known determinant of health and related
behaviors. Many studies have linked socioeconomic factors to secondhand
smoke (SHS) exposure. However, no studies have examined the relationship
between social deprivation and SHS exposure. This study examined whether
contextual social deprivation – variously based on living in a house without a car,
that was overcrowded, or had an unemployed member (s) – had an independent
association with SHS exposure at both individual and regional levels among
Chinese residents.
Methods
A cross-sectional multistage sampling design was utilized to interview
subjects from 6 selected cities in China. A standardized questionnaire selected
sociodemographic characteristics, contextual social deprivation and SHS exposure.
Multilevel logistic regression models were used to assess the association between
social deprivation and SHS exposure.
Results
A total of 5782 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. Among
2930 non-smokers, the SHS exposure prevalence was 21.9% (95% CI: 19.5–
24.30). Multilevel logistic regression showed a negative association between
household income, regional GDP, and SHS exposure, respectively, and positive
associations between contextual social deprivation and SHS exposure.
Conclusions
Findings support the central proposition that contextual social
deprivation must be factored into SHS exposure messages. Our research
underscores the importance of reducing health inequality in controlling SHS
exposure. |
