DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Smoking behavior and the values and beliefs that influence this behavior are acquired during childhood and adolescence and are heavily influenced by individual, cultural, familial, and social factors. To further our knowledge of the smoking behavior of adolescents, we will conduct a longitudinal school based survey among high school youth of two ethnic groups (Kolla and European descent) in the province of Jujuy, Argentina (Jujuy thereafter). Specifically, the goals of this study are to assess the prevalence of smoking behavior, as well as the predisposing, reinforcing, and facilitating factors associated with smoking acquisition within this population. Based on the descriptive study, we will develop and pilot test components of a tobacco prevention intervention across youth of different social and cultural characteristics. Finally, we will implement a multicomponent training component for researchers from Jujuy and northwest Argentina. The specific aims of the study are as follows: Aim 1. To identify the patterns of transition from smoking susceptibility to initiation to experimentation to regular smoking in a cohort of 3000 urban and rural 8th grade public high school youth of Kolla and European descent in Jujuy for a period of three years. Aim 2. To define the personal, interpersonal, cultural, and contextual factors (e.g., peer influence, the value of health, urban/rural residence, socioeconomic status, media exposure, and smoking restrictions) that affect the development of smoking among a cohort of 3,000 8th grade students of Kolla and European descent. Aim 3. To develop and pilot test components of a culturally appropriate intervention in the public high school, of Jujuy with the goal of modifying smoking behavior. The intervention will target modification of predisposing and reinforcing factors for smoking.

描述（由申请人提供）：吸烟行为以及影响该行为的价值观和信仰是在童年和青少年时期获得的，并且深受个人、文化、家庭和社会因素的影响。为了进一步了解青少年的吸烟行为，我们将对阿根廷胡胡伊省（以下简称胡胡伊）两个族裔群体（科拉和欧洲血统）的高中青少年进行纵向学校调查。具体来说，本研究的目标是评估吸烟行为的流行程度，以及该人群中与吸烟相关的诱发因素、强化因素和促进因素。根据描述性研究，我们将针对不同社会和文化特征的青少年制定并试点测试烟草预防干预措施的组成部分。最后，我们将为来自胡胡伊省和阿根廷西北部的研究人员实施多部分培训。研究的具体目的如下： 目标 1. 确定 3000 名科拉城乡八年级公立高中青少年和胡胡伊省欧洲裔青少年从吸烟易感性到开始尝试再到经常吸烟的转变模式，为期三年。 目标 2. 确定影响 3,000 名科拉和欧洲血统八年级学生吸烟发展的个人、人际、文化和背景因素（例如同伴影响、健康价值、城市/农村居住、社会经济地位、媒体曝光和吸烟限制）。 目标 3. 在胡胡伊省公立高中制定并试点测试文化上适当的干预措施，以改变吸烟行为。干预措施的目标是改变吸烟的诱发因素和强化因素。
