| الوصف: | Despite higher rates of tobacco use and smoking-related diseases among sexual minorities, tobacco cessation treatment-seeking behaviors (e.g., medication, nicotine replacement products) remain poorly understood across sexual orientation subgroups. This study examines tobacco cessation treatment-seeking behaviors associated with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition tobacco use disorder (TUD) across the three major sexual orientation dimensions (identity, attraction, behavior) in U.S. adults. Prevalence estimates reflect data collected from a 2012-2013 national sample of adults 18 years and older. More than three-fourths of U.S. adults with TUD had never engaged in tobacco cessation treatment-seeking behaviors, regardless of sexual orientation. Despite having the highest rates of TUD, bisexual men and women had some of the lowest rates of tobacco cessation treatment-seeking. Men who identified as gay, reported same-sex attraction, or reported same-sex behaviors had the highest rates of tobacco cessation treatment-seeking. In contrast, women with same-sex attraction or same-sex behavior had higher rates of TUD but were less likely to engage in tobacco cessation treatment-seeking behaviors than women with only other-sex attraction or other-sex behavior, respectively. Heterosexual women were more likely to engage in tobacco cessation treatment-seeking than heterosexual men; this sex difference was not present for sexual minorities. Medications and nicotine replacement therapy products were the most prevalent forms of treatment-seeking. There were notable differences in tobacco cessation treatment-seeking behaviors based on sex and sexual orientation. Findings highlight the underutilization of tobacco cessation treatment-seeking among all U.S. adults and point to important factors to consider when working with sexual minorities who are trying to reduce or stop using tobacco. |
