To examine how smoking behaviour and beliefs, physical activity and weight, and social influences are associated with intentions to quit smoking among youth.
This cross-sectional study used self-reported data collected from 26,379 grade 9 to 12 students in Ontario, Canada.
Intending to quit smoking was positively associated with students believing that they could quit smoking, being moderately active, and having smoking friends. Male smokers were less likely to intend to quit smoking than female smokers. Intending to quit smoking in the next 30 days was positively associated with students believing that they could quit smoking and being highly active, and negatively associated with being overweight and having three or more smoking friends.
These findings provide insight for researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the factors which may promote smoking cessation among smoking school-aged populations.
研究吸烟行为与信念、身体活动与体重以及社会影响如何与青少年戒烟意愿相关联。
这项横断面研究使用了从加拿大安大略省26379名9至12年级学生中收集的自我报告数据。
打算戒烟与学生相信自己能够戒烟、适度活跃以及有吸烟的朋友呈正相关。男性吸烟者比女性吸烟者更不太可能打算戒烟。打算在未来30天内戒烟与学生相信自己能够戒烟和高度活跃呈正相关，与超重以及有三个或更多吸烟的朋友呈负相关。
这些发现为有兴趣了解可能促进学龄吸烟人群戒烟的因素的研究人员和从业者提供了见解。
