Objectives:
To compare smoking by frequency and type of social contact.
Methods:
Respondents aged 20 years or older from NHANES III were analyzed using multivariate logistic models (N = 15,499).
Results:
Among the levels and types of social contact, frequency of church attendance was the only type of social contact associated with lower likelihood of smoking (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.64, 0.72). Other types of contact were either not associated or were associated with higher probabilities of smoking.
Conclusions:
Frequent church attendance appears to protect the most from smoking relative to other types of social contact.
