目标。这项研究测试了吸烟的高可见度、吸烟的可接受性和青少年吸烟地点之间是否存在关联。方法。对明尼苏达州 15 个社区的 9,762 名 8-10 年级学生和 1,586 名家长进行的调查询问了成人和青少年在各种室内和室外公共场所吸烟的频率和看法。卡方分析和方差分析比较了吸烟者和非吸烟者。结果。据报告，吸烟的年轻人多于不吸烟的年轻人，经常看到成年人和青少年在所有地方吸烟。 42% 的学生经常注意到成年人，35% 的学生经常注意到青少年在户外吸烟，这也是青少年报告吸烟最常见的地方。学生们认为成人和青少年在餐馆、娱乐中心和户外聚会场所吸烟更容易被接受。与不吸烟者相比，更多的学生吸烟者认为成人和青少年都可以接受吸烟。在家长样本中，52% 的人经常观察成年人在户外吸烟，36% 的人经常观察青少年在户外吸烟。不吸烟的父母比吸烟的父母更频繁地观察到成人和青少年吸烟。结论。这些数据支持青少年在不同地点观察到吸烟的频率与吸烟状况对吸烟在社会上可接受程度的看法之间存在关联。限制在不同地点吸烟的政策将降低这些地点吸烟的可见性和可接受性。 (C) 2003 年美国健康基金会和爱思唯尔科学（美国）。版权所有。
Objectives. This study tests whether there is an association between high visibility of smoking, perceived acceptability of smoking, and where youth smoke.Methods. Surveys of 9,762 students in grades 8-10 and 1,586 parents in 15 Minnesota communities asked about the frequency of and opinions of adult and youth smoking in various indoor and outdoor public places. Chi-square analysis and ANOVAs compared smokers and nonsmokers.Results. More smoking than nonsmoking youth reported often seeing adults and teens smoking in all locations. Forty-two percent of students often noticed adults and 35% often noticed teens smoking outdoors, also the most frequent location where teens report smoking. Students perceived adult and teen smoking as more acceptable in restaurants, recreation centers, and outdoor gathering places. More student smokers than nonsmokers believe that smoking is acceptable for both adults and teens. Of the parent sample, 52% often observed adults and 36% often observed youth smoking outdoors. Nonsmoking parents observed adult and teen smoking more often than parents who smoke.Conclusions. The data support an association between the frequency that youth observe smoking in various locations and the perception that smoking is socially acceptable by smoking status. Policies that restrict smoking in various locations will reduce both visibility and perceived acceptability of smoking in those locations.
