背景/目的：本研究采用多层次方法研究学校吸烟政策与学生吸烟之间的关系。检验了个体特征是否是学校政策效果的中介变量。方法：基于德国40所学校3364名学生和校长的横断面数据，计算了两个多水平的非线性回归模型。结果：在第一个模型中，控制不受学校影响的个人因素、学生禁烟和循证预防活动与吸烟患病率呈负相关。第二个模型包括可能受学校影响的学生特征(例如，学校参与度、同伴吸烟)。由于学校变量仍然显著，这些特征显然不会中介学校情境效应。结论：学校情境变量对学生吸烟的影响不受个体因素的影响。数据表明，个人变量在家庭影响中起到了很大的中介作用。版权所有(C)2008 S.Karger AG，巴塞尔。
Background/Aims: This study applied a multilevel approach to examine the associations between school smoking policy and student smoking. It was tested whether individual characteristics are mediators of school policy effects. Methods: On the basis of cross-sectional data from 3,364 students and school principals from 40 schools in Germany, two multilevel nonlinear regression models were computed for current smoking. Results: In the first model, controlling for individual factors not influenced by school, smoking bans for students and evidence-based prevention activities were negatively associated with smoking prevalence. The second model included student characteristics potentially influenced by school (e. g. school engagement, peer smoking). As school variables remained significant, these characteristics obviously do not mediate school context effects. Conclusion: School context variables influence students' smoking independent of individual factors. The data suggest that individual variables rather mediate family influences. Copyright (c) 2008 S.
