“…In addition, all models accounted for intraclass correlations due to clustering within a school district by using Stata's cluster variance estimation option. Per HSPP trial design specifications, all 40 districts had one HS per district (Peterson et al, 2000). Therefore, clustering by school district was analytically the same as that by HS.…”

“…Estimates of cancer mortality for the year 2000 for all 10 accession countries were derived from the Globocan 2000 software and database. 13 Age-standardized mortality rates (ASRs) were calculated for all ages combined and for age groups [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] Hungary and Poland) and for age groups 20 -44, 45-64 and 65 and over (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia) for each sex separately. The World Standard Population was used for age adjustment.…”

Significant changes in the prevalence of tobacco smoking have been observed in many European countries. EU candidate countries have also experienced major changes with respect to tobacco smoking, which have resulted in changes in the frequency of lung cancer. In men in the majority of these countries, a reduction of mortality rates has been observed recently, while in Hungary and Poland a deceleration of mortality increase was observed in the 1990s. The situation is much less favorable in females, where in the majority of countries a continuous increase of mortality rates has been observed, the only exceptions being Latvia, Lithuania and, to a lesser extent, Estonia. In Hungarian women, an acceleration of the increase rate was observed in the 1980s and 1990s (compared with the 1970s). Patterns of lung cancer mortality in analyzed countries are somewhat similar to those observed in EU member states. Recent analyses of time trends of lung cancer in EU countries showed, in general, a decreasing risk in the majority of male populations and an increase in several countries in women. If the decrease of mortality is to be achieved and maintained in the longer term, efforts have to be focused on young generations (entering adulthood now or in the near future). Despite all the difficulties present in reducing tobacco smoking in youth, it seems that one of the most important ways to reduce the future lung cancer burden in current and new EU member states is to strengthen efforts toward changing smoking attitudes in young generations. © 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc. Key words: lung cancer; mortality; trends; European Union; regressionLung cancer has been a major public health issue in Europe for many years. This disease is the most frequent cause of cancer deaths in males in the majority of European countries and one of the most frequent in females. Although several studies have dealt with time trends of lung cancer in the European Union member states, relatively little has been published on lung cancer time trends in other parts of the continent. [1][2][3][4][5][6] This article aims to analyze and discuss recent changes in mortality trends in countries that are candidates for membership of the European Union.It is well known that the major risk factor for lung cancer is tobacco smoking, and that there is a relationship between the magnitude of the risk and duration and intensity of smoking, age of initiation, type of cigarettes smoked and time since smoking cessation. 7-12 All these factors influence changes in the frequency and incidence of and mortality from lung cancer in the given population.In many West European countries, decreasing trends in the prevalence of tobacco smoking in men observed since the 1960s and 1970s caused a decline in lung cancer mortality 1-2 decades later. In contrast, in many countries, increase of smoking prevalence in women caused an increase in mortality from lung cancer.Similar changes in smoking patterns were observed in the 1980s and 1990s in the majority of the EU accession countries.

“…But as noted by Joule et al (2008), "good ideas" do not automatically lead to "proper behavior". They illustrate the gap between good ideas and proper behavior with a study on smoking prevention; Peterson et al (2000) found no difference in behavior between students 8-17 years old who were part of preventive sessions in class and the control group. Persuasive communication is necessary but not sufficient, because it changes minds but poorly acts on actions.…”

Environmental economics is now a long standing field of research; much has been learned on how environmental policy can use incentives to drive individual behaviors. Among the many examples, preference elicitation is the most discussed case in which incentives fail to accurately implement efficient behavior. Using this as our motivating example, herein we explore the cross-fertilization between environmental economics and social psychology . We first review how the lessons drawn from social psychology helped address the hypothetical bias issue. We then turn to the future of this process by focusing on how cheap talk scripts influence preference elicitation. Our experimental results shows CT scripts work through persuasion -i.e. changes mind, but poorly changes actions. In that sense, preference elicitation still lacks a way of making communication binding -i.e. a way to alter intrinsic motivation of subjects to behave truthfully. Keywords:Social psychology, Commitment, Persuasive communication, Preference elicitation JEL Classification: C9; H4; Q5 Résumé L'économie de l'environnement a depuis longtemps permis de mettre en évidence les moyens par lesquels les politiques publiques menées dans ce domaine peuvent s'appuyer sur les incitations pour orienter les comportements. Les méthodes de révélation des préférences restent cependant l'un des exemples les plus étudiés de défaillance des incitations. En s'appuyant sur cette illustration, cet article propose une synthèse des progrès réalisés en économie de l'environnement grâce à l'intégration des résultats issus de la psychologie sociale. La première partie de l'article propose une revue des méthodes issues de cette discipline et destinées à corriger le biais hypothétique. La seconde partie s'appuie sur une expérience en laboratoire pour évaluer la capacité des scripts de cheap talk à résoudre ce problème. Les comportements observés montrent que les scripts de cheap talk influencent les comportements par un effet de persuasion -i.e. agissent sur les intentions, mais n'affectent que faiblement les actions. En ce sens, les méthodes de révélation des préférences souffrent toujours du manque d'une méthode de communication engageante -i.e. permettant d'affecter la motivation intrinsèque des individus à révéler leurs préférences vraies.

Hutchinson Smoking Prevention Project: Long-Term Randomized Trial in School-Based Tobacco Use Prevention--Results on Smoking

Abstract: The rigor of the HSPP trial suggests high credence for the intervention impact results. Consistent with previous trials, there is no evidence from this trial that a school-based social-influences approach is effective in the long-term deterrence of smoking among youth.
