    Physician smoking rates in Rhode Island decreased significantly, reaching 8.3% in 1983. Projections indicate this downward trend will continue, with rates expected below 3% by 2000.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Medical Trends
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Physician smoking rates have historically been a concern.
    • Previous surveys have tracked a declining trend in physician smoking.
    • Understanding current physician smoking prevalence is crucial for public health initiatives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the current cigarette smoking prevalence among practicing physicians in Rhode Island.
    • To analyze the trend of physician smoking rates over a 20-year period.
    • To project future smoking rates based on observed trends.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among practicing physicians in Rhode Island.
    • Data on cigarette smoking habits were collected in 1983.
    • An exponential model was used for trend analysis and projection.

    Main Results:

    • The cigarette smoking rate among Rhode Island physicians was 8.3% in 1983.
    • Smoking rates have consistently decreased since 1963.
    • Physicians under age 30 exhibited a lower smoking rate of 4.5%.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician smoking rates in Rhode Island show a sustained and significant decline.
    • The trend suggests a near-cessation of smoking among physicians in the future.
    • Public health interventions targeting physician smoking appear effective.
