Aggregated data could mask substantial differences in substance use between cultural subgroups in this population. Yet, studies examining substance use among the AANHPI population are limited.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study aimed to describe cigarette, cannabis, and alcohol use among AANHPI adults by cultural subgroup and sex.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We analyzed data from 3411 AANHPI respondents of a multilingual national survey \u201cCOMPASS\u201d during December 2021-May 2022. Primary outcomes were self-report current (every day or some days) use of cigarettes, cannabis, and alcohol. Cultural subgroups included Asian Indian, Ethnic Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, Vietnamese, other cultural groups, and multicultural groups. Other covariates include sex, other sociodemographics, experiences of discrimination (Everyday Discrimination Scale), and mental health (Patient Health Questionnaire 4). Multivariable logistic regressions were used to examine correlates of each substance use among AANHPI adults.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The prevalence of current cigarette, cannabis, and alcohol use was 4.2% (142\/3359), 5.5% (184\/3235) and 37.6% (1265\/3361), respectively. Cigarette use ranged from 1.0% (1\/100) in Asian Indian females to 14.8% (10\/71) in multicultural males. Cannabis use ranged from 1.9% among Asian Indian (1\/53) and Vietnamese males (4\/211) to 15.7% (11\/70) in multicultural females. Alcohol use varied from 6.6% (4\/61) in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander females to 56.3% (40\/71) among multicultural males. Male participants with elevated depression and anxiety symptoms were more likely to report using all 3 substances than males with minimal symptoms. However, depression and anxiety symptoms were only associated with cannabis and alcohol use among female participants. US-born female participants were more likely to report using all 3 substances compared to foreign-born females, while being US-born was only associated with higher odds of alcohol use among males. Perceived discriminatory experience was associated with higher odds of smoking in both sexes and alcohol drinking in males.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Cigarette smoking, cannabis, and alcohol use varied widely across AANHPI cultural groups, between and within each sex. These findings underscore the necessity to disaggregate data for substance use behaviors to guide health policy and intervention programs for AANHPI adults.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/76465","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T04:00:10Z","timestamp":1751342410000},"page":"e76465-e76465","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Use of Cigarettes, Cannabis, and Alcohol Among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Adults: Community-Based National Survey Analysis"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2140-9772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vuong Van","family":"Do","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5020-0359","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Van My","family":"Ta Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8661-9597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nhung","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6166-9347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pamela May","family":"Ling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8913-2293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marian","family":"Tzuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1777-2923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bora","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0538-8887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcelle M","family":"Dougan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1093-0477","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oanh L","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0989-7187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janice Y","family":"Tsoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"14","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1444","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2018.0158","article-title":"The state of US health, 1990-2016: burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors among US States","volume":"319","author":"US Burden of Disease Collaborators","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"issue":"3","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21335","article-title":"Cancer statistics for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, 2016: converging incidence in males and females","volume":"66","author":"Torre","journal-title":"CA Cancer J Clin"},{"issue":"6","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"453","DOI":"10.1002\/onco.13748","article-title":"Disparities in cancer care and the Asian American Population","volume":"26","author":"Lee","journal-title":"Oncologist"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2014.06.004","article-title":"The relationship between methamphetamine and alcohol use in a community sample of methamphetamine users","volume":"142","author":"Bujarski","journal-title":"Drug Alcohol Depend"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2020.00569","article-title":"One is not enough: understanding and modeling polysubstance use","volume":"14","author":"Crummy","journal-title":"Front Neurosci"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annepidem.2024.12.005","article-title":"National trends in drug overdose mortality among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations","volume":"101","author":"Zhu","journal-title":"Ann Epidemiol"},{"key":"R7","unstructured":"2022 NSDUH annual national report.
