Data about the predictors of smoking among adolescents in Greece are sparse. We tried to identify factors associated with current cigarette smoking among in-school adolescents in Greece in the context of GYTS study.
A secondary analysis of data from a questionnaire study using the Global Youth Tobacco Survey methodology was conducted to identify factors associated with smoking among adolescents in Greece. Data were collected in 2004-2005. The outcome variable was cigarette smoking within the past 30 days preceding the survey while independent variables included age, gender, parental educational status, parental smoking, perception of harmfulness of smoking, and the amount of pocket money at the adolescent's disposal.
6141 adolescents (51.5% males and 48.5% females) participated in the study. In multivariate analysis, cigarette smoking was associated with male gender (OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1, 08-3.08), parental smoking (OR: 2.59; 95% CI: 1.45-5.89), and having pocket money > or = 16 Euros (OR: 2.64; 95% CI: 1.19-5.98).
Male gender, parental smoking, and having pocket-money > or = 16 Euros were independently associated with current smoking among Greek students. These findings could be taken into account in order to formulate a comprehensive anti-smoking strategy in Greece.
希腊青少年吸烟预测因素的数据稀少。我们试图在全球青少年烟草调查（GYTS）研究背景下，确定希腊在校青少年当前吸烟的相关因素。
对一项采用全球青少年烟草调查方法的问卷调查研究数据进行二次分析，以确定希腊青少年吸烟的相关因素。数据于2004 - 2005年收集。结果变量为调查前30天内吸烟情况，自变量包括年龄、性别、父母教育程度、父母吸烟情况、对吸烟危害的认知以及青少年可支配的零花钱数额。
6141名青少年（51.5%为男性，48.5%为女性）参与了该研究。多变量分析显示，吸烟与男性性别（比值比：1.62；95%置信区间：1.08 - 3.08）、父母吸烟（比值比：2.59；95%置信区间：1.45 - 5.89）以及零花钱≥16欧元（比值比：2.64；95%置信区间：1.19 - 5.98）有关。
男性性别、父母吸烟以及零花钱≥16欧元与希腊学生当前吸烟独立相关。为在希腊制定全面的反吸烟策略，可考虑这些研究结果。
