Implications of Rural Residence and Single Mother Status for Maternal Smoking Behaviors. Research and Policy Brief.

摘要

We conducted chi-square tests to identify bivariate differences by rural residence and single mother status on smoking patterns and covariates, and to assess whether there are rural-urban differences in the role of single parenthood as a risk factor for smoking. We used logistic regression analyses to examine the main effects of rural residence and single mother status on smoking after adjusting for covariates. We also ran models including the interaction between rural residence and single mother status.
