Social and psychological determinants of cigarette smoking-related disparities among non-Hispanic Black adults: An intersectional approach - Project Summary/Abstract Cigarette smoking causes multiple types of cancer and is a major contributor to higher rates of tobacco-related disease and death among Black adults, ultimately driving up healthcare costs. Smoking rates are similar between Black and White adults. However, Black individuals who smoke are less likely to quit, resulting in higher rates of smoking-related diseases and deaths. There are no clear explanations for why these disparities exist, and there is a limited understanding of how social factors influence smoking and cessation among Black adults. The goal of the proposed project is to identify the interrelated social and psychological factors that influence smoking and cessation among Black adults with the long-term goal of designing effective, tailored smoking cessation interventions. We will use an explanatory sequential QUAN à qual study design, in which we will analyze data from the All of Us Research Program followed by conducting in-depth interviews with Black adults with a smoking history, focusing on multi-level influences on tobacco use and cessation (e.g., neighborhood-level socioeconomic status, social, and psychological factors). By applying robust, evidence- based frameworks and empirical evidence, we will better understand how these factors create challenges for quitting smoking and use this information to develop effective smoking cessation strategies. We propose three aims. The first aim will examine the quantitative relations between multiple psychological and social factors and smoking behaviors among Black adult participants of the All of Us Research Program. The second aim is to conduct in-depth semi-structured interviews with Black adults to provide a deeper understanding of our quantitative findings. The third aim will integrate the quantitative and qualitative findings to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the multi-level factors associated with cigarette smoking and cessation. Our study findings will have a significant public health impact by contributing to the development of more effective smoking cessation interventions for Black adults in the U.S. and, accordingly, a reduction in smoking-related diseases and associated healthcare costs in the general population.
