“…Some studies have already reported that drinking behaviors were higher in male students [ 2 , 14 ]. This study found evidence consistent with this, possibly because female students had more positive attitudes than male students toward the early prevention of drinking or smoking [ 15 ]. However, in some recent studies, there has been little gender difference in drinking and smoking problems [ 16 ].…”

This study aimed to identify the determinants of mental health and smoking-related behaviors among Korean adolescents with drinking experience. Secondary data from the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2021) were analyzed. The final study sample consisted of data from 5905 adolescents with a history of smoking. Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the factors related to drinking experience. The factors that influenced alcohol drinking were sex, school level, academic performance, self-reported depression, and smoking. The results of this study showed that there are numerous factors affecting adolescents’ drinking experience. Early education and interventions are needed to reduce alcohol consumption among adolescents. Integrated attention and support from society, school, and family are necessary so that they can cope with and adapt to stress in a healthy way.

“…Moreover, in a recent study among students enrolled in the X:IT II intervention, students reported that knowing smoking is dangerous and not wanting to be addicted to smoking were the top reasons for not smoking cigarettes. These findings indicate a high awareness of the health-damaging effects of cigarette smoking ( 56 ). However, we do not have knowledge about students' reasoning toward using or not using ATPs.…”

BackgroundHealth interventions may differently impact adolescents from diverse backgrounds. This study examined whether a smoking preventive intervention was equally effective in preventing cigarette smoking and use of alternative tobacco products (ATPs, i.e., snus, e-cigarettes, and waterpipe) among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, i.e., occupational social classes (OSC).MethodsData was from the school-based intervention X:IT II targeting 13- to 15-year-olds Danes. The intervention focused on three main components: smoke-free school time, smoke-free curriculum, and parental involvement. In total, 46 schools were included at baseline (N = 2,307, response rate = 86.3%). Using a difference-in-differences approach, changes in current smoking and ever use of ATPs were estimated among students in high versus low OSC at second follow-up. Analyses were based on available cases (N = 826) and multiple imputations of missing data at the second follow-up (N = 1,965).ResultsAt baseline (age 13), 1.0% of students from high OSC and 4.8% from low OSC currently smoked cigarettes, while this was the case among 24.5 and 25.6%, respectively, at the second follow-up (age 15). Estimates indicated that social inequalities in current smoking diminished over time (p < 0.001). Regarding ATPs, 10.0% of high OSC students and 13.9% of low OSC students had ever used ATPs at baseline, while at second follow-up, 46.8 and 60.8%, respectively, had ever used ATPs. Estimates indicated that social inequalities in ever use of ATPs widened over time (p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe X:IT II intervention seemed to diminish socioeconomic disparities in smoking over the study period. Meanwhile, social inequalities in ever use of ATPs increased. Therefore, besides focusing on narrowing the social disparities in cigarette smoking, future efforts may, to a larger extent, focus on adolescents' use of ATPs.

“…35 Gender also affects the adoption of preventive smoking initiatives. 36 Accordingly, no supporting evidence has been reported for the effectiveness of gendernonspecific antismoking programs on girls. 37 Given the factors that motivate girls to smoke or quit smoking, researchers recommend gender-specific interventions to be more effective in girls.…”

BACKGROUND This study assesses the long‐term effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention on cigarette, passive, and hookah smoking in adolescent boys and girls. METHODS One thousand one hundred and fifty‐nine adolescent participants of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) (2001‐2004) were followed for 12 years. Participants in the intervention area received lifestyle interventions in family, schools, and community settings, with the largest part implemented in schools. After excluding those with missing baseline parental data (n = 66), complete parental data of 1093 adolescents was used for cluster analysis. Families were classified as low‐ and high‐risk. Two hundred and ninety‐six individuals who did not complete intervention/follow‐ups were excluded, GEE was performed on 797 adolescents (369 boys, 192 intervention) to assess the intervention effect on tobacco‐related habits. RESULTS Adolescents' mean baseline age was 15.21 ± 1.95. Those living in high‐risk families were more at risk of cigarette, passive, and hookah smoking. Intervention decreased odds of cigarette and passive smoking by 38% and 57%, respectively. Intervention did not reduce hookah smoking in adolescents. After sex‐specific analysis, the intervention reduced current cigarette smoking by 40% only in boys and passive smoking in both sexes. CONCLUSIONS Targeting lifestyle behaviors in school‐aged adolescents and their families reduces cigarette smoking in boys and protects both sexes from secondhand smoke.
