目标。大多数吸烟者在十几岁时开始吸烟，最近的报告显示，台湾青少年的吸烟率正在上升。本研究旨在探讨不同类型学校青少年吸烟易感性的相关因素。2004-2005年，对4689名初中生和3918名高中生进行了校本调查，采用不记名自评问卷的方式确定青少年吸烟易感性的相关因素。初中生吸烟易感性为11.3%，普通高中生为12.7%，高职高中生为12.4%。对于所有/男性吸烟易感学生，初中生的父母或最好的朋友中有一个或多个吸烟的人比普通高中或职业高中的学生多。对于所有/女性吸烟易感学生来说，在公共场所吸二手烟的初中生明显多于非易感学生。为初中生制定量身定制的全面预防吸烟计划应包括建立无烟家庭和社区。(C) 2009爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Objectives. Most smokers begin using tobacco in their teens and recent reports indicate that smoking prevalence is climbing among youth in Taiwan. The purpose of this paper was to determine the associated factors of susceptibility of youth smoking by different types of schools.Methods. A total of 4689 junior high students and 3918 senior high students participated in a school-based survey to determine the associated factors of susceptibility of youth smoking through anonymous self-administered questionnaire in 2004-2005.Results. Susceptibility to initiate smoking ranged from 11.3% for junior high to 12.7% for general senior high and 12.4% for vocational senior students. For all/male smoking-susceptible students, more junior high students had one or more parents or best friends who smoked than did general or vocational senior high students. For all/female smoking-susceptible students, significantly more junior high students experienced secondhand smoke in public places than did non-susceptible students.Conclusions. Developing tailored, comprehensive smoking-prevention programs for junior high students should involve establishing tobacco-free households and communities. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
