| Abstract |
Thailand has higher prevalence of smoking behaviors which put them at risks of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the spatial association of smoking behaviors and its associated factors among the population of Thailand. This study was conducted by using a data set of the National Statistical Office of Thailand, 2017. A Moran’s I, local indicators of spatial association (LISA), and spatial regression were used to identify the spatial autocorrelation between tobacco outlet density, prevalence of second-hand smoke and smoking behaviors among Thai people. According to the results, among the total of 88,689 participants, the prevalence of smoking behaviors was 18.00 per 1,000 population. There was spatial global autocorrelation between tobacco outlet density, prevalence of second-hand smoke and smoking behaviors with the Moran’s I values of 0.120 and 0.375, respectively. The LISA analysis identified significant positive spatial local autocorrelation of smoking behaviors in the form of nine high-high clusters of tobacco outlets density, and ten of high-high prevalence clusters of second-hand smoke. Prevalence of second-hand smoke predicted smoking behaviors by 62.8 percent. There were spatial associations between tobacco outlet density, and second-hand smoke problems that led the youngsters to start smoking. It is a general recommendation to strictly enforce policies and laws to control smoking, to cover all regions in Thailand |
