“…Supporting the development of effective cessation interventions for AAs and NH/PIs are the identification of several smoking risk/protective factors. Among AA-NH/PI youth/ emerging adults, these include holding positive and negative attitudes and expectancies toward smoking, social/environmental factors (e.g., access to tobacco, social pressure, low social support) [risk] [63,64] and performing physical activity [protective] [48•]. In AAs but not NH/PIs, greater social support was associated with lower smoking while greater sizes of social networks associated with lower smoking for NH/ PIs but not AAs [62].…”

Purpose of Review This study aimed to describe the current state of the science on Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI) substance use, covering extant research and treatment knowledge and gaps. Recent Findings Despite literature gaps, epidemiological studies revealed sizable population-level differences between AAs, who have among the lowest rates of US substance use, and NH/PIs, who have among the highest. Targeted studies identified key challenges affecting NH/PI communities and some AA subgroups, particularly for alcohol, cigarette, and e-cigarette use. Of major concern, both AAs and NH/PIs demonstrate significant treatment disparities. Summary There is a scarcity of substance use research and interventions specifically targeted for AAs and NH/PIs. Promisingly, a growing body of research is focused on developing/testing culturally targeted interventions for these populations, but more is needed. Recommendations for improving substance use data and intervention research with AAs and NH/PIs—including disaggregating both racial groups and their subgroups—are discussed.

“…Cigarette use is a public health concern among youth living in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI). Youth in the USAPI are significantly more likely to display smoking behaviors compared with youth in the United States nationally (Kessaram et al, 2015; Rosario et al, 2021). Guam is among one of the USAPIs, and approximately 8% of adolescent middle-school students (Grades 6–8) on the island had reported smoking cigarettes in the past month, compared with 2% of a representative and national sample of middle-school students in the United States.…”

The present study examined the associations between biculturalism and cigarette and betel nut use and the potential mediating roles of cigarette and betel nut use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence among adolescents in Guam. Participants were 673 ethnically diverse students (49% female; M age = 12.7, SD = .89) from eight public middle schools. The results showed that biculturalism was not associated with cigarette use directly; however, this association was mediated by cigarette use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence. In other words, higher biculturalism was associated with more risk perception and then more resistance to peer and adult influence, which sequentially predicted less cigarette use. Similarly, the association between biculturalism and betel nut use was mediated by betel nut use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence. Higher biculturalism was associated with greater risk perception and then more resistance to peer and adult influence, which in turn resulted in less betel nut use. These findings can be used to inform the design and implementation of intervention and prevention programs targeting youth who are vulnerable to substance use. What is the public significance of this article?This study shows the linkages among biculturalism, health-linked risk perception, peer and adult resistance, and cigarette and betel nut use for Pacific Islander youth in Guam. The findings highlight the necessity of bicultural adolescents' awareness of health-linked risks and their ability to reject offers from peers and adults, in order to reduce the levels of cigarette and betel nut use. Furthermore, the knowledge gained from this study can be used to inform the design and implementation of intervention and prevention programs targeting at-risk youth in a racially/ethnically diverse context.
