减少青少年吸烟和饮酒的流行是美国的公共卫生目标。虽然家庭对孩子有很大的影响，但很少有随机研究探讨家庭指导的计划是否会影响一般人群的这些行为。本文报道了一项家庭计划的评估结果，该计划的特点是向成年家庭成员邮寄四本小册子，并由健康教育工作者进行电话随访。一个全国性的样本的双亲对和随机实验设计被用来评估该计划。这些物质的基线用户和非用户被认为是同时进行分析，使吸烟和饮酒流行的程序的影响可以检查。研究结果表明，该计划显着降低了青少年吸烟和饮酒的流行率。这些研究结果的背景下进行了讨论，早期的研究报告的家庭计划和公共卫生的影响。
Reducing the prevalence of adolescent cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking are public health goals of the United States. Although families have strong influence on their children, few randomized studies have examined whether family-directed programs influence those behaviors in general universal populations. This paper reports findings from an evaluation of a family program that features the mailing of four booklets to adult family members with follow-up telephone calls by health educators. A national sample of adolescent-parent pairs and a randomized experimental design were used to evaluate the program. Baseline users and nonusers of those substances were considered simultaneously in analyses so that program influences on smoking and drinking prevalence could be examined. The findings suggest that the program significantly reduced the prevalence of smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol among adolescents. These findings are discussed in the context of earlier reports of research on the family program and implications for public health.
