Kicking the Camel: Adolescent Smoking Behaviors After Two Years Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse 10,2 (2000): 53-80. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J029v10n02_05 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Hispanics; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations The Public Health Model views chemical dependency and acute substance problems as the interaction of three domains: the agent, the host and the environment. This model was used to examine the relationships between smoking severity - never smokers, former smokers and continued smokers - an host and environmental variables in a two-year follow-up study. Our results indicate that former smokers are more like never smokers on most of the risk and protective variables examined. Final anylases indicate that continued smokers are more likely to be Hispanic and Non-Black, Non-Hispanic, be older, to have a more distant maternal relationship, to have used alcohol, to feel peer pressure to try cigarettes and have substance using mothers at time 1 compared to never and former smokers. The implications of these results for prevention, practice and future research are discussed. NOTE: The dependent variable was drawn from the 1992 and 1994 CSAS and the 1994 Young Adult survey. |
