    Abstract Introduction: American Indians (AI) have the highest smoking rates of any racial/ethnic group in the U.S., in addition to low success rates of tobacco cessation. The substitution of commercial tobacco for traditional tobacco may have played a role in the prevalence rates of recreational tobacco use among AI. The present study explored the impact of tribal college students' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about traditional tobacco use on their recreational cigarette smoking behaviors.
    Methods: Multiple methods were used to recruit participants attending a tribal college. A total of 101 AI tribal college students completed a demographic survey and participated in focus groups or individual interviews assessing traditional and recreational tobacco use.
    Results: AI tribal college student's recreational smoking has an influence on various health behaviors, including poor eating habits, decreased physical activity, and elevated tobacco use in association with alcohol consumption. Differences between the use of and motivation behind smokeless tobacco and cigarette use were seen. In addition, participants reported differences between using tobacco for traditional purposes such as in ceremony or during prayer in comparison to recreational tobacco use. Conclusion: These findings highlight AI students' beliefs about recreational tobacco, smokeless tobacco, and traditional tobacco use. Differences related to behaviors associated with traditional tobacco use have important implications for future cessation efforts for AI smokers.

    Abstract Though smokeless tobacco (SLT) use has decreased in many communities, concern for American Indian (AI) SLT use remains, as this population continues to be disproportionally affected by SLT-related diseases. Tobacco has cultural significance to many AI tribes, therefore tobacco cessation messages portraying tobacco as entirely negative may be ineffective. As a part of our formative research for an SLT cessation intervention, we sought to gain a better understanding of the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about SLT among AI community members. We describe two independent focus group studies conducted in Montana (ten focus groups, 54 participants) and Kansas (six focus groups, 27 participants). Predominant themes emerged from three major topic areas (SLT use, program development, and recreational SLT use) during the discussions from both studies. The formative approach and data from these studies will allow us to more appropriately address SLT-related health disparities across multiple AI communities.

    Abstract This study describes a multiphasic approach to the development of a smokeless tobacco cessation program targeted for American Indians (AI) of different tribal nations. The authors gathered formative data from a series of focus groups and interviews to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of AI and smokeless tobacco (SLT) use. Predominant themes emerged from four major topic areas (SLT use, initiation and barriers, policy, and program development) across both studies. This study further assessed educational materials developed for the cessation program for scientific accuracy, readability, and cultural appropriateness. Program materials were scientifically accurate and culturally appropriate. The average corrected reading grade level was 6.3 using the Fry formula and 7.1 using the SMOG formula. Based on this research, a detailed approach to formative research can be used in combination with input from community members to develop health interventions that address health disparities for a specific population.
