目的：通过调查1996年至1999年青少年烟草使用趋势，评价马萨诸塞州的烟草控制情况。设计：数据来自1996年和1999年马萨诸塞州公立学校学生的流行病学调查。参与者：参与者包括6800名（1996）和6980名（1999）马萨诸塞州公立学校6-12年级的学生（大约11-18岁）。主要结果测量：结果是终生和当前（过去一个月）香烟、雪茄和无烟烟草的变化。结果：在7-12年级，终生（48.3%至41.9%）和当前（30.7%至23.7%）卷烟使用、无烟烟草使用（终生16.5%至9.9%；当前4.55%至2.6%）和当前雪茄使用（12.2%至8.6%）显著下降。7 - 8年级的男生和女生都出现了下降。在9-12年级，女生的下降幅度略大于男生。在监测未来研究中，将8年级、10年级和12年级的趋势与全国和东北地区的趋势进行了比较。对于混合等级，香烟的下降幅度大于全国或东北地区。结论：结果支持全面的马萨诸塞州烟草控制计划的有效性。20世纪90年代上半叶不断上升的吸烟率已得到显著扭转。这些结果表明，应支持甚至扩大规划工作，以进一步降低国家的青少年烟草使用率。研究结果表明，其他州可以从马萨诸塞州的成功中学到有用的经验。
Objective: To evaluate tobacco control in Massachusetts through examining trends in youth tobacco use from 1996 to 1999. Design: Data are from the 1996 and 1999 Massachusetts Prevalence Study survey of public school students in the state. Participants: Participants consisted of 6800 (1996) and 6980 (1999) students in Massachusetts public school grades 6–12 (approximate ages 11–18 years). Main outcome measures: Outcomes are changes in lifetime and current (past month) cigarette, cigar, and smokeless tobacco. Results: In grades 7–12, there were significant decreases in lifetime (48.3% to 41.9%) and current (30.7% to 23.7%) cigarette use, smokeless tobacco use (lifetime 16.5% to 9.9%; current 4.55 to 2.6%), and current cigar use (12.2% to 8.6%). Decreases occurred for both male and female 7–8th graders. In grades 9–12 decreases were somewhat greater for females than males. Trends for grades 8, 10, and 12 were compared to those seen nationally and in the northeast region in the Monitoring the Future study. For the pooled grades the decreases for cigarettes were greater than those seen nationally or in the northeast region. Conclusions: Results support the effectiveness of the comprehensive Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program. The increasing tobacco rates in the first half of the 1990s have been dramatically reversed. These results suggest that programme efforts should be supported or even expanded in order to decrease further the state's rates of youth tobacco use. The findings suggest that other states may learn useful lessons from Massachusetts' successes.
