Association of Race-Ethnicity Intersection With Disparities in Cigarette Smoking in U.S. Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Detailed estimates of disparities in cigarette smoking across single- and multi-race groups and their intersections with ethnicity are lacking. This study estimates the prevalence of self-reported current smoking among intersecting adult race-ethnicity groups in the United States.

Aims and methods
