ABSTRACT

The lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) community is known to smoke at greater rates than the general population, but there has been no study estimating the impact of cigarette smoking on healthcare utilization and costs in the LGB population. Using data from the 2005–2014 California Health Interview Surveys, we determine smoking-attributable healthcare utilization and costs among California’s LGB-identified community. Our findings indicate that lesbian/bisexual women who smoke incur excess doctor visits and emergency room visits compared to their never smoking counterparts. No statistically significant differences were found for gay/bisexual men. Annual smoking-attributable costs were $58.3 million for the California LGB community (2019 dollars).

加州女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋社区的吸烟归因医生就诊和急诊室使用率和费用

摘要

众所周知,女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋 (LGB) 社区的吸烟率高于普通人群,但没有研究估计吸烟对 LGB 人群的医疗保健利用率和成本的影响。使用来自 2005-2014 年加州健康访谈调查的数据,我们确定了加州 LGB 识别社区中可归因于吸烟的医疗保健利用率和成本。我们的研究结果表明,与从不吸烟的女性相比,吸烟的女同性恋/双性恋女性需要更多的看医生和急诊。男同性恋/双性恋男性没有发现统计学上的显着差异。加州 LGB 社区每年可归因于吸烟的成本为 5830 万美元(2019 年美元)。
