“…The results imply that smoking prevention programmes should strengthen self-efficacy beliefs and resistance against peer influences and help Romanian young people to develop skills as well as action plans to cope with pressure to smoke and with challenging situations; these findings are similar to those from other international studies (6,14,16,18,26,27). This study is subject to certain limitations.…”

“…Regular smoking onset was also predicted by baseline low self-efficacy expectations to avoid smoking. Other studies also found this to be an important predictor of smoking initiation (6,16,26). As regards social influences, the longitudinal results confirmed the strong influence of smoking friends on adolescents' smoking behaviour.…”

“…behaviours (14,16,17,22,23). Pocket money spent per month by adolescents was measured using eight response categories ranging from nothing per month to the equivalent of more than €25/month; previous studies showed that smoking was statistically significantly more frequent among Romanian adolescents who spent more than €15 per month than among those who spent less money (24).…”

“…First, we aim to cross-sectionally and prospectively assess the importance of socio-demographic factors as well as attitudinal, social, self-efficacy and intentional beliefs in predicting smoking onset among Romanian adolescents. Based on the assumptions from the I-Change Model and findings from previous studies (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), we expect that more favourable attitudes to smoking, more social influences in favour of smoking from peers and family, lower self-efficacy beliefs in refraining from smoking in different situations and…”

Ključne besede: dejavniki kajenja, romunski mladostniki, preprečevanje kajenja stronger intention to smoke in the future will predict smoking onset. Second, we compare the outcomes and amount of variance explained when using a crosssectional compared to a longitudinal design. METHODS Sample and procedureIn spring 2004, five senior high schools from ClujNapoca, a city in north-west Romania with approximately 330,000 inhabitants and 39 high schools, were randomly chosen and approached to participate in a survey about adolescent smoking behaviour. Time and financial constraints limited the inclusion of more schools in the study. The principals of the five schools were informed about the survey during individual meetings with the research team; all principals agreed to participate, and all first-year classes from the five schools were involved in the survey. Consent was obtained from the school administration only, in line with standard procedure in Romania. Data were gathered in two waves. A baseline measurement was conducted in May-June 2004 (T1) among students from 19 first-year senior high school classes (aged 15 to 17), and a follow-up measurement was performed 12 months later (T2). The students were not informed in advance about the date on which the assessment would take place. The research team administered the questionnaires to each class; classroom completion of the questionnaire took approximately 50 minutes. Students were asked to read an introductory letter. They were assured that the researchers would treat their questionnaires confidentially and that they could refuse to participate by leaving the questionnaire blank. They put their completed questionnaires in an envelope, sealed it and wrote their names on the envelope and then the researchers collected the envelopes. No refusals were recorded; non-participation was exclusively due to absence of students on the day of assessment. The questionnaires were filled in by 473 students at T1 and 482 students at T2. A total of 416 students participated in both measurements; 66.5% of these were girls.

“…Studies analyzing the influence of individual factors and immediate social context on the onset of smoking have found that tobacco consumption is associated with low academic performance (O'Loughlin, Karp, Koulis, Paradis, y Difranza, 2009), a positive attitude toward smoking (Nebot et al, 2004;Gomez, Barrueco, Maderuelo, Aparicio y Torrecilla, 2008), belonging to a single parent family (Yanez et al, 2006), smoking by parents and siblings, and lack of attention and supervision by parents. Moreover, many studies have found that adolescent smoking may be influenced by peer group smoking (Richardson, Radziszewska, Dent, y Flay, 1993;Alexander, Piazza, Mekos, y Valente, 2001;de Vries, Engels, Kremers, Wetzels, y Mudde, 2003;Flay et al, 1994).…”

Resumen AbstractThe socio-cultural environment is an important factor involved with the onset of smoking during adolescence. Initiation of cigarette smoking occurs almost exclusively during this stage. In this context we aimed to analyze the association of school and family factors with adolescent smoking by a cross-sectional study of 16 secondary schools randomly selected from the Balearic Islands involved 3673 students and 530 teachers.The prevalence of regular smoking (at least one cigarette per week) was 4.8% among first year students, 11.6% among second year students, 14.1% among third year students, 20.9% among fourth year students and 22% among teachers.Among first and second year students, there were independent associations between regular smoking and adolescents' perception of being allowed to smoke at home, belonging to a single parent family, poor relationship with parents, poor academic performance, lack of interest in studies and teachers' perception of smoking in the presence of pupils.Among third and fourth year students, there were independent associations between regular smoking and poor relationship with parents, adolescents' perception of being allowed to smoke at home, poor academic performance, lack of control over student misbehavior and the school attended.The school policies and practices affect student related health behavior regarding smoking, independent of individual and family factors.Key words: smoking, adolescence, schools, teachers, family.El entorno socio-cultural es un importante factor implicado en el inicio del tabaquismo durante la adolescencia. El inicio del tabaquismo ocurre casi exclusivamente en esa etapa. En este contexto, el objetivo era analizar la asociación entre factores escolares y familiares y tabaquismo en adolescentes, mediante un estudio transversal a una muestra aleatoria de 16 centros escolares de las Islas Baleares, donde participaron un total de 3673 escolares de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y 530 profesores de dichos centros. La prevalencia de tabaquismo regular (al menos un cigarrillo por semana) fue de 4,8% entre los estudiantes de primero de ESO, el 11,6% entre los estudiantes de segundo de ESO, el 14,1% entre los estudiantes de tercero de ESO, el 20,9% entre los estudiantes de cuarto de ESO y del 22% entre los profesores. Entre los estudiantes de primero y segundo año, había asociaciones independientes entre el tabaquismo regular y: poder fumar en casa, pertenecer a una familia monoparental, tener una mala relación con los padres, bajo rendimiento académico, falta de interés en los estudios y la propia percepción de los profesores de consumo de tabaco por parte del profesorado en presencia de alumnos. Entre los alumnos de tercero y cuarto de ESO las variables que se mostraron independientemente asociadas al tabaquismo regular fueron: una mala relación con los padres, poder fumar en casa, bajo nivel académico, mayor transigencia del centro escolar sobre la mala conducta del estudiante y el propio centro escolar. Las políticas y prácticas esco...

Smoking and Cardiovascular Risk: Role of Personality in Adolescent Smoking

Work to mitigate the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) brought about by cigarette smoking compels primary and secondary prevention activity among adolescents. Personality plays a prominent role among the variables associated with adolescent onset and maintenance of smoking. The role of personality in adolescent smoking is examined by contrasting results from research exploring association versus causality and then evidence from studies examining onset versus maintenance in relation to models of personality, risk, smoking beliefs/knowledge, self-esteem/self-efficacy, locus of control, and religiosity. Analysis using the two comparisons demonstrates the need for research in the area to consider dynamical approaches to explain changes in adolescent smoking behavior more deeply. For example, advances in the mathematical sophistication of adolescent smoking research make it possible to understand how changes in knowledge about the health consequences of smoking influence the onset or maintenance of smoking among adolescents. The development of more dynamical explanations of adolescent behavior may prove valuable explanations of behavior among adults trying to quit smoking to reduce the risk of CVD.
