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(申请人提供)：吸烟行为和影响这一行为的价值观和信念是在童年和青春期获得的，受到个人、文化、家庭和社会因素的严重影响。为了加深我们对青少年吸烟行为的了解，我们将在阿根廷Jujuy省(此后的Jujuy)对两个民族(科拉和欧洲血统)的高中青年进行一项以学校为基础的纵向调查。具体地说，这项研究的目标是评估吸烟行为的流行率，以及与吸烟相关的易感、强化和促进因素。在描述性研究的基础上，我们将在不同社会和文化特征的青年中开发和试行烟草预防干预措施的组成部分。最后，我们将为来自Jujuy和阿根廷西北部的研究人员实施多组成部分的培训。研究的具体目的如下： 目的1.在为期三年的时间里，对3000名科拉和欧洲血统的科拉和欧洲裔城市和农村的8年级公立高中生进行为期三年的队列研究，以确定从吸烟易感性到开始吸烟到实验吸烟再到经常吸烟的转变模式。 目的2.确定影响Kolla和欧洲血统的3000名8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、城乡居住地、社会经济地位、媒体曝光率和吸烟限制)。 目的3.在Jujuy的公立高中开发和试行文化上适当的干预措施的测试组件，目的是改变吸烟行为。干预的目标将是改变吸烟的诱因和强化因素。
