目的：本研究评估了佛罗里达州烟草控制计划 (FTCP) 资金的大幅削减是否影响了佛罗里达州青少年对佛罗里达州“真相”反吸烟媒体运动、反行业态度和非吸烟意图的回忆趋势。方法：我们使用中断时间序列技术来测试 FTCP 预算削减前后佛罗里达州“真相”回忆、反行业信念和非吸烟意图的变化率差异佛罗里达州反烟草媒体评估 (FAME) 调查，这是对佛罗里达州青少年进行的重复横断面电话调查。结果：1998 年 4 月至 1999 年 5 月期间，佛罗里达州“真相”反吸烟运动、反行业态度和禁烟意图的回忆急剧增加。1999 年 6 月 FTCP 预算削减后，佛罗里达州“真相”回忆下降。反行业信念和禁烟意图预算削减后趋于稳定或开始下降。 2000 年 2 月发起的全国“真相”运动可能抵消了预算削减对反行业信念的有害影响，但没有抵消吸烟意图的有害影响。结论：烟草控制资金的减少对计划暴露和开始吸烟的认知先兆产生了立竿见影的影响。迫切需要维持和增加对国家烟草控制计划的资助，以继续在全国范围内防止青少年开始吸烟。
Objective: This study assessed whether dramatic funding reductions to the Florida Tobacco Control Program (FTCP) influenced trends in recall of the Florida "truth'' anti-smoking media campaign, anti-industry attitudes and non-smoking intentions among Florida teens.Methods: We used an interrupted time series technique to test for differences in the rates of change in Florida "truth'' recall, anti-industry beliefs and non-smoking intentions before and after the FTCP budget cuts using the Florida Anti-tobacco Media Evaluation ( FAME) survey, a repeated cross-sectional telephone survey of Florida teens.Results: Recall of the Florida "truth'' anti-smoking campaign, anti-industry attitudes, and non-smoking intentions increased dramatically between April 1998 and May 1999. Florida "truth'' recall declined after FTCP budget cuts in June 1999. Anti-industry beliefs and nonsmoking intentions plateaued or began to decline after the budget cuts. The launch of the national "truth'' campaign in February 2000 may have offset otherwise deleterious effects of the budget cuts on anti-industry beliefs, but not smoking intentions.Conclusion: Reductions in tobacco control funding have immediate effects on programme exposure and cognitive precursors to smoking initiation. There is a critical need to maintain and enhance funding for state tobacco control programmes to continue nationwide progress in preventing youth from initiating cigarette smoking.
