From Personal Responsibility to Prevention Strategies: Perspectives of Spanish-Speaking Latinx Adults Who Smoke on Multilevel Factors Related to Smoking and Cessation Support.

ABSTRACT: Latinx individuals face significant tobacco-related disparities, particularly in cessation care. In particular, little is known about barriers and facilitators of quitting smoking among Spanish-preferring Latinx. This study examined the perspectives of Latinxs who smoke and have psychological distress regarding the factors influencing their smoking and quitting behaviors and experiences with cessation treatment. A cross-sectional, exploratory multi-method study included 18 Latinx adults who smoke and completed a questionnaire on demographics, tobacco use, and mental health, followed by a semi-structured interview. Participants' responses (N=18) were analyzed using a deductive-inductive thematic analyses approach organized with the Dedoose software. Participants' ages ranged from 24-61 year
