This longitudinal study examined the reciprocal effects of the frequency of parent-adolescent communication on tobacco-related issues (smoking-specific communication), and adolescents' smoking. Participants were 428 Dutch older and younger siblings between 13 and 16 years old. Smoking-specific communication did not affect youth smoking in general; however, among younger, but not older, siblings, smoking-specific communication was associated with a higher likelihood of smoking over time. In addition, when adolescents already smoked parents started to talk more frequently about smoking-related issues with their older and younger adolescents later on. Neither the quality of smoking-specific communication, the quality of parent-adolescent relationship, nor parental smoking moderated these reciprocal effects. In conclusion, prevention campaigns encouraging parents to undertake smoking-specific communication might not be desirable.
这项纵向研究考察了父母与青少年沟通频率对与烟草相关问题（具体针对吸烟的沟通）以及青少年吸烟的相互影响。参与者是 428 名荷兰年龄较大和较小的兄弟姐妹，年龄在 13 至 16 岁之间。具体针对吸烟的沟通并不能影响青少年整体的吸烟情况；然而，在年龄较小的兄弟姐妹中，而不是年龄较大的兄弟姐妹中，具体针对吸烟的沟通与随着时间推移吸烟的可能性增加有关。此外，当青少年已经开始吸烟时，父母后来更频繁地与年龄较大和较小的青少年谈论与吸烟相关的问题。具体针对吸烟的沟通的质量、父母与青少年的关系质量，以及父母的吸烟情况都没有调节这些相互影响。总之，鼓励父母进行具体针对吸烟的沟通的预防活动可能并不理想。
