RESUMEN

While tobacco use rates are relatively high among East African immigrants in the U.S., factors contributing to this high rate are largely unknown. Acculturation is associated with stress and substance use. Whether acculturation styles are related to stress and current tobacco use has not been tested among this population. We conducted a cross-sectional study that included 376 East African adults who provided information on demographic background, acculturation style, acculturative stress, depressive symptoms, and tobacco use. Multivariate analysis indicated that individuals who were distant to both the culture of the host country and the culture of origin (marginalization style) had greater levels of acculturative stress than those who adopted both cultures (integration style; p < .001). Marginalized people were four to eight times and assimilated people were three to four times more likely than integration people to be a current tobacco user (p < .04). This relationship did not change after controlling for demographic information and stress. In this study, acculturation style was associated with perceived stress and current tobacco use among East African immigrants. Research focused on characterizing integrated individuals may guide efforts to develop culturally-relevant strategies to reduce tobacco-related disparities among East African individuals.
