先前关于吸烟自然史的研究主要集中在整体群体轨迹上，而没有考虑风险亚组变异的可能性。为了解决这一局限性，本研究的作者旨在确定吸烟行为轨迹不同的亚组。作者通过对大型社区样本 (N = 8,556) 的队列序贯研究实现了这一目标，测量范围涵盖 11-31 岁。在去除 2 个先验群体（戒烟者和不稳定者）后，作者凭经验确定了 4 个轨迹群体——早期稳定吸烟者、晚期稳定吸烟者、实验者和戒烟者——并且青春期和成年早期的心理社会变量在其中显着区分。鉴于定量方法的最新进展，现在可以在整体纵向设计中考虑轨迹子组。
Previous research on the natural history of smoking has focused on overall group trajectories without considering the possibility of risk subgroup variation. To address this limitation, the authors of the present study aimed to identify subgroups with Varying trajectories of smoking behavior. The authors accomplished this within a cohort-sequential study of a large community sample (N = 8,556) with measurements spanning ages 11-31. After removing 2 a priori groups (abstainers and erratics), the authors empirically identified 4 trajectory groups-early stable smokers, late stable smokers, experimenters, and quitters-and psychosocial variables from adolescence and young adulthood were significantly distinguished among them. Given recent advances in quantitative methods, it is now feasible to consider subgroups of trajectories within an overall longitudinal design.
