目标：识别和比较预测青少年吸烟开始和持久性非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和白色青少年在纵向national sampling.DESIGN：样本包括1537母子二人从全国青年纵向调查（NLSY）。家庭，青年，同龄人和社会人口学的风险和保护因素进行了analysed.FINDINGS：白色青少年报告的吸烟开始和持久性的最高利率，非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔最低。多变量分析显示，大多数常见的和少数民族特定的吸烟开始和持续的预测。对于启动，母亲目前吸烟，儿童年龄，儿童问题行为，并认为吸烟的同龄人的压力是预测跨种族群体，女性性别和无效的养育是预测只有白人。对于持久性，儿童年龄，儿童问题行为和自觉的学业能力预测跨种族群体;负面情绪是预测Whites only.CONCLUSIONS：更常见的比独特的因素预测吸烟的开始和持久性不同种族的青少年之间。然而，功率检测种族预测相互作用的持久性是低的。社会因素是更重要的吸烟开始，而个人因素是更重要的持久性，虽然儿童问题行为是共同的决定因素，开始和持久性。除少数例外情况外，普遍的反吸烟干预措施应针对不同族裔的青年。
AIMS: To identify and compare predictors of adolescent smoking initiation and persistence among African American, Hispanic and White adolescents in a longitudinal national sample.DESIGN: The sample includes 1537 mother-child dyads from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Family, youth, peer and sociodemographic risk and protective factors were analyzed.FINDINGS: White adolescents reported the highest rates of smoking initiation and persistence; African Americans and Hispanics the lowest. Multivariate analyses revealed mostly common and few ethnic-specific predictors of smoking initiation and persistence. For initiation, maternal current smoking, child age, child problem behavior, and perceived peer pressure to smoke were predictive across ethnic groups; female gender and ineffective parenting were predictive among Whites only. For persistence, child age, child problem behavior and perceived scholastic competence were predictive across ethnic groups; negative mood was predictive among Whites only.CONCLUSIONS: More common than unique factors predict smoking initiation and persistence among adolescents of different ethnicity. However, the power to detect ethnicity-by-predictor interactions with respect to persistence was low. Social factors are more important for smoking initiation, whereas individual factors are more important for persistence, although child problem behaviors are common determinants both of initiation and persistence. With few exceptions, universal anti-smoking interventions should be targeted to youths of different ethnicity.
