| Popis: | The current study utilized regression analyses to explore the relationships among demographic and linguistic indicators of acculturation, gender, and tobacco dependence among Spanish-speaking Latino smokers in treatment. Additionally, bootstrapping analyses were used to examine the role of dependence as a mediator of the relationship between indicators of acculturation and cessation. Indicators of time spent in the United States were related to indicators of physical dependence. Preferred media language was related to a multidimensional measure of dependence. Gender did not impact the relationships between acculturation indicators and dependence. A multidimensional measure of dependence significantly mediated the relationship between preferred media language and cessation. Future research would benefit from consideration of acculturation and multidimensional measures of dependence when studying smoking cessation among Latinos, and from further examination of factors accounting for relationships among acculturation, dependence, and cessation. |
