Despite evidence of elevated tobacco use and chronic disease burden, limited research has examined how cultural, psychological, and social factors shape tobacco-related health risks in this community.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examined associations between ethnic identity, tobacco use, and health outcomes (self-rated health, chronic disease diagnosis) among Arab American adults, and tested whether ethnic identity moderated the association between tobacco use and health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In a cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 112 Arab American adults residing in Central California completed a survey assessing ethnic identity, tobacco use, and health. Ethnic identity was measured using an abbreviated, Arabic-translated adaptation of Phinney\u2019s Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure. Tobacco use was categorized as non-use, single-product use, or multi-product use. Multivariable regression models assessed associations and potential moderating effects of ethnic identity on health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over 48% of study participants reported current use, defined as at least some use or more, of at least one tobacco or nicotine product, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes (which may contain synthetic rather than tobacco-derived nicotine), and hookah. Higher ethnic identity scores were associated with significantly lower odds of tobacco use (adjusted OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15\u20130.83). Single-product users had 75% lower odds of reporting better self-rated health compared to non-users (OR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.07\u20130.96). No significant associations were found for multi-product use or chronic disease in adjusted models, and ethnic identity did not significantly moderate associations with health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ethnic identity is associated with lower tobacco use among Arab Americans, though its protective effects on health outcomes remain less clear.
