Our previous research indicated that Latino parents, more so than non-Latino parents, may prompt their children to engage in behaviors that encourage them to "practice" smoking-related behaviors. The present study examined Latino and non-Latino adolescents' reports of parental prompting, defined as parental requests to: 1) empty/clean ashtrays; 2) bring cigarettes to parent; 3) accept tobacco industry promotional gear as a gift; 4) buy cigarettes for parent; 5) light parent's cigarette with a match or lighter; 6) start the cigarette in his/her own mouth and then pass it to parent; and 7) smoke with the parent.
In 10 schools in the Southbay area of San Diego, 3,599 7th and 8th grade middle school students, the majority of whom were Latino, completed cross-sectional surveys assessing 7 parental prompts, past-month smoking, parental smoking, acculturation, and familism.
Findings indicated that parental prompts were less prevalent than in our previous work. We also found that there were not consistent or great differences in the prevalence of prompting between Latinos and non-Latinos and that parental prompting, particularly requests that the child light the parent's cigarettes with a match or lighter, was associated with children's smoking. Further, we found that Latino adolescents may be influenced by more parental prompts than non-Latinos, and finally that higher familism scores were significantly associated with lower risk of smoking, regardless of ethnicity.
Parental prompting and familism appear to be important correlates of adolescent smoking.
我们之前的研究表明，与非拉丁裔父母相比，拉丁裔父母可能更会促使其子女参与鼓励他们“练习”吸烟相关行为的活动。本研究调查了拉丁裔和非拉丁裔青少年关于父母促使行为的报告，父母促使行为定义为父母提出的以下要求：1）清空/清理烟灰缸；2）给父母拿香烟；3）接受烟草行业促销用品作为礼物；4）为父母购买香烟；5）用火柴或打火机为父母点烟；6）自己先叼着烟然后递给父母；7）与父母一起吸烟。
在圣地亚哥南湾地区的10所学校，3599名七、八年级中学生（其中大多数是拉丁裔）完成了横断面调查，评估7种父母促使行为、过去一个月的吸烟情况、父母吸烟情况、文化适应程度和家庭主义。
研究结果表明，父母促使行为的发生率低于我们之前的研究。我们还发现，拉丁裔和非拉丁裔在促使行为发生率方面没有一致或显著的差异，并且父母促使行为，特别是要求孩子用火柴或打火机为父母点烟的行为，与孩子吸烟有关。此外，我们发现拉丁裔青少年可能比非拉丁裔青少年受到更多父母促使行为的影响，最后，无论种族如何，较高的家庭主义得分与较低的吸烟风险显著相关。
父母促使行为和家庭主义似乎是青少年吸烟的重要相关因素。
