Abstract

This study examines differences in tobacco use among women in the general population and with criminal justice involvement (CJI) and respective associations in receipt of tobacco use screens and being advised to quit. A subsample of women (N = 114,736) from the 2015–2019 NSDUH data set was used. Multivariate logistic regressions analyzed outcomes of tobacco use frequencies (receipt of tobacco screener and advice to quit. Women with CJI showed differences in tobacco use and odds of receiving advice to quit. Intersectional differences by race and CJI were also found, indicating white women and women with CJI are more likely to receive screen and advice to quit compared with their peers. Our preliminary results offer evidence of disparities when receiving screenings and advice to quit and underscore opportunities to mitigate inequitable impacts on long-term health outcomes.
