Abstract

Purpose: American Indian (AI) youth have a high risk of smoking initiation. Sensation-seeking, defined as the tendency to seek novel and thrilling experiences, has been associated with smoking initiation in other groups but has never been examined in AI youth. Methods: Data were from the Voices of Indian Teens Project (VOICES), a longitudinal study of AI youth from seven high schools in four AI communities in the western United States. Participants completed annual surveys in school over a three-year period. Our sample comprised 764 students who were non-smokers at baseline. Smoking initiation was defined as endorsement of daily smoking after baseline. We used binary logistic regression to evaluate the association of baseline sensation-seeking with odds of daily smoking initiation, stratified by gender. Results: Participants were 353 males and 411 females aged 13 to 21. years at baseline. After adjusting for covariates, baseline sensation-seeking correlated with smoking initiation differently in males and females. Sensation-seeking did not predict daily smoking in males. Among females, however, higher sensation-seeking scores at baseline predicted daily smoking in both the unadjusted (odds ratio. =. 1.4; 95% CI. =. 1.1-1.8; p=. 0.005) and covariate-adjusted (odds ratio. =. 1.3; 95% CI. =. 1.0-1.6; p=. 0.04) models. Conclusion: Gender-specific prevention programs may be warranted in addressing different risk-factor profiles in this high-risk population.
