本文探讨了模糊因果网络(FCNs)在评价健康警示对澳大利亚吸烟者心理社会和戒烟行为影响方面的效果。本研究使用的样本数据来自国际烟草控制政策评估调查项目。我们的研究结果表明，澳大利亚实施的新健康警告对吸烟者的心理社会和戒烟行为有明显影响。FCN是调查这类影响的有用框架，它克服了使用线性回归和逻辑回归等传统统计技术分析非线性数据的局限性。
This paper explores the application of fuzzy causal networks (FCNs) to evaluating effect of health warnings in influencing Australian smokers’ psychosocial and quitting behaviour. The sample data used in this study are selected from the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Survey project. Our research findings have demonstrated that new health warnings implemented in Australia have obvious impacts on smokers’ psychosocial and quitting behaviours. FCN is a useful framework to investigate such impacts that overcome the limitation of using traditional statistical techniques, such as linear regression and logistics regression, to analyse non-linear data.
