我们在纽约市47所学校的以西班牙裔为主的七年级学生(N=3,153)中测试了社会阻力/能力增强方法在预防吸烟方面的有效性。在屏蔽了学校类型(公立和教区)和种族构成(拉美裔比例)后，学校被随机分配，要么接受为期15节的预防计划，要么作为非接触对照组。以学校为分析单位，在吸烟、同伴与成人吸烟的规范期望、吸烟流行知识、社会可接受性知识、吸烟后果知识等方面存在显著的程序效应。使用结构模型技术，发现规范期望与干预和后测吸烟影响的知识变量之间存在显著的关系，表明这些变量的变化在干预对吸烟的影响中起中介作用。这项研究扩展了以往预防研究的结果，并证明了这种方法对以西班牙裔为主的城市少数民族学生的普适性。
We tested the effectiveness of a social resistance/competence enhancement approach to smoking prevention among predominantly Hispanic seventh graders (N= 3,153) from 47 New York City schools. After blocking on school type (public and parochial) and ethnic composition (percent Hispanic), schools were randomly assigned either to receive the 15-session prevention program or to serve as no-contact controls. Using the school as the unit of analysis, significant program effects were found for cigarette smoking, normative expectations concerning peer and adult smoking, smoking prevalence knowledge, social acceptability knowledge, and knowledge of smoking consequences. Using structural modeling techniques, a significant relation was found between the normative expectation and knowledge variables affected by the intervention and posttest smoking, suggesting that changes on these variables mediated the impact of the intervention on cigarette smoking. This study extends the results of previous prevention research and demonstrates the generalizability of this approach to predominantly Hispanic urban minority students.
