本研究的目的是评估父母对吸烟的态度和父母吸烟行为作为青少年吸烟行为相关因素的相对重要性。了解每个变量的相对重要性可以加强反吸烟教育工作。数据收集自伊利诺伊州中部7-12年级的5409名学龄青少年。数据按性别进行分析。与吸烟等危险因素相关的各种态度、行为和行为意向问题被开发出来。具体问题包括父母态度、父母行为和青少年吸烟行为。采用描述性和卡方统计分析。结果表明，这两个因素与青少年吸烟行为显著相关。然而，父母的态度可能比父母的行为产生更大的影响。尽管父母的行为似乎与青少年吸烟率翻倍有关，但父母的态度似乎与青少年吸烟率增长约四倍有关。这些结果需要在更大的背景下进行解释，因为许多变量，而不仅仅是吸烟态度和父母行为，已被发现与青少年吸烟行为有关。然而，在这个整体背景下，父母对青少年吸烟的态度似乎比父母的行为对青少年吸烟行为的影响更大。因此，那些参与青少年反吸烟教育工作的人可能会发现将这一因素纳入其中是有帮助的。
The purpose of the study was to assess the relative importance of parental attitudes about smoking and parental smoking behavior as factors associated with youth smoking behavior. Knowledge of the relative importance of each variable could enhance antismoking educational efforts. Data were collected from 5,409 central Illinois school-age youth in grades 7-12. Data were analyzed by sex. A variety of attitudinal, behavioral and behavior intention questions relative to risk factors, including smoking, were developed. Specific questions about parental attitudes, parental behavior, and the youth's smoking behavior were included. Descriptive and chi-square statistical analyses were utilized. Results indicate that both factors are significantly associated with youth smoking behavior. However, it appears that parental attitudes may exert a more significant impact than parental behavior. Whereas parental behavior seems to be associated with a doubling of the youth smoking rate, it appears that parental attitude is associated with an approximately fourfold increase. These results need to be interpreted within the larger context that a number of variables, and not just smoking attitudes and parental behavior have been found to be associated with youth smoking behavior. However, within this overall context it appears that parental attitude toward youth smoking is a more significant factor associated with youth smoking behavior than parental behavior. As such, those involved with youth antismoking educational efforts may find it helpful to include this factor.
