目的：研究青少年对吸烟的态度，是否存在错误的共识效应，以及同龄人和父母对吸烟选择的态度对易感者、从不吸烟者、实验者和当前吸烟者的影响。方法：数据来自罗伯特·伍德约翰逊基金会1996年全国烟草价格敏感性研究，行为，和青少年和年轻人的态度（RWJF调查）被用来产生全国估计的烟草使用行为和态度的青少年就读于高中。三个logistic回归模型估计，以检查与三个不同阶段的吸烟uptake.RESULTS：对烟草使用的积极态度与更大的可能性是一个易感的，从不吸烟者（OR = 1.50），实验者（OR = 1.27），和当前吸烟者（OR = 2.96）。那些认为50%或更多的青少年吸烟的受访者更有可能是目前的吸烟者（OR = 1.45）。一个人的朋友和父母的意见，他/她的选择吸烟的重要性也被发现与吸烟behaviors.CONCLUSIONS：防止青少年吸烟的开始和持续将需要干预措施，解决个人的态度与烟草，也需要提出一个清晰的青少年吸烟的图片。此外，预防和干预信息应强调父母对青少年烟草使用的意见的重要性，无论父母的烟草使用行为如何。
OBJECTIVE: To examine adolescents' attitudes toward smoking, the presence of a false consensus effect, and the influence of peer and parental attitudes about smoking choices on being a susceptible, never smoker; an experimenter; and a current smoker.METHODS: Data from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's 1996 National Study of Tobacco Price Sensitivity, Behavior, and Attitudes Among Teenagers and Young Adults (RWJF survey) were used to produce national estimates of the tobacco use behaviors and attitudes of adolescents enrolled in high school. Three logistic regression models were estimated to examine which psychosocial variables were associated with three different stages of smoking uptake.RESULTS: Positive attitudes toward tobacco use were associated with a greater likelihood of being a susceptible, never smoker (OR = 1.50), an experimenter (OR = 1.27), and a current smoker (OR = 2.96). Those respondents who believed that 50% or more of all adolescents smoked were more likely to be current smokers (OR = 1.45). The importance of the opinions of one's friends and parents about his/her choice to smoke was also found to be associated with smoking behavior.CONCLUSIONS: Preventing the initiation and continuation of smoking among adolescents will require interventions that address individual attitudes with respect to tobacco and will also need to present a clear picture of adolescent smoking. In addition, prevention and intervention messages should emphasize the importance of parental opinions on youth tobacco use regardless of parental tobacco use behavior.
