	Smokeless Tobacco Use Among American Indian Women -- Southeastern North Carolina, 1991
		In southeastern North Carolina, reports from physicians and dentists suggested a high prevalence of smokeless tobacco use in the local American Indian population, the Lumbee -- particularly among women and children.
		Editorial Note: Based on the findings of this survey, the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use among Lumbee women in North Carolina in 1991 was nine times the national mean prevalence for American Indian women (2.5%) and 38 times that for women in the total U.S. population (0.6%) (1).
		Robeson County, where most of the Lumbee reside, is the third largest tobacco-producing county in North Carolina (E. Davis, Robeson County {North Carolina} Agricultural Extension Service, personal communication, 1994), and the high prevalence of smokeless tobacco use among the Lumbee women may reflect, in part, the tobacco-based local economy.
