Joint effect of acculturation and educational attainment on smoking prevalence^* among Latino adults, National Health Interview Survey, 2010

Acculturation Status†	Educational attainment†		PRs (95% CI) for educational attainment within acculturation strata (ref: high education)
	Low (1)	High (0)
	PR (95% CI)	PR (95% CI)
High (1)	2.59 (1.83–3.65)	1.73 (1.23–2.43)	1.43 (1.09–1.88)
	P ≤ .0001	P = .0017	P = .0100
Low (0)	1.45 (1.06–1.99)	1.00 (referent)	1.53 (1.10–2.13)
	P = .0187		P = .0111
PRs (95% CI) for acculturation within educational attainment strata (ref: Low acculturation)	1.70 (1.34–2.17)	1.89 (1.28–2.79)
	P ≤ .0001	P = .0014

CI = confidence interval; PR = prevalence ratio.

^*PRs are adjusted for age, gender, income, and nativity status/length of time in the United States.

^†High acculturation represents those who speak English only or mostly; high education represents those with some college or higher education.
