To compare the perceptions of youth in grades 5 to 9 and parents regarding their household environment relevant to smoking socialization.
We conducted secondary analysis of the 2004/05 Canadian Youth Smoking Survey and corresponding parent survey, and used the McNemar Test to compare youth and parent responses.
Results showed statistically significant patterns of disagreement between youth and parent responses at most levels of youth smoking uptake regarding parental smoking, household rules around smoking, and smoking in the home and vehicles. When youth and parents disagreed, the following patterns emerged: non-susceptible, non-smoking youth perceived their parents as non-smokers and youth with more smoking experience perceived their parents as smokers; youth at all levels of smoking uptake perceived fewer rules in the home than parents indicated, more smoking in the home than parents indicated, and exposure to smoking in vehicles in contrast to vehicle smoking bans indicated by parents.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare the perceptions of youth and parents regarding household variables related to the socialization of tobacco use. The discrepancies between youth and parent responses suggest that there is room to improve on establishing household environments that clearly condemn the use of tobacco, which may affect youth susceptibility to future smoking.
比较5至9年级青少年及其父母对与吸烟社会化相关家庭环境的认知。
我们对2004/05年加拿大青少年吸烟调查及相应的家长调查进行了二次分析，并使用麦克尼马尔检验来比较青少年和家长的回答。
结果显示，在青少年吸烟率的大多数水平上，青少年和家长在关于父母吸烟、家庭吸烟规定以及在家中和车辆内吸烟等方面的回答存在统计学上显著的分歧模式。当青少年和父母意见不一致时，出现了以下模式：不易受影响的、不吸烟的青少年认为他们的父母不吸烟，而吸烟经历较多的青少年认为他们的父母吸烟；所有吸烟率水平的青少年认为家中的规定比父母所说的少，家中吸烟情况比父母所说的多，并且与父母所表明的车辆吸烟禁令相反，他们接触到车辆内的吸烟情况。
据我们所知，这是第一项比较青少年和父母对与烟草使用社会化相关家庭变量认知的研究。青少年和家长回答之间的差异表明，在建立明确谴责烟草使用的家庭环境方面仍有改进空间，这可能会影响青少年未来对吸烟的易感性。
