Despite a concerted, sustained and comprehensive tobacco control effort, smoking is prevalent among young people in New Zealand, particularly for Māori and Pacific Island teenagers. Many took up smoking in their pre-teen years. New Zealand research has shown that daily smoking by children aged 14-15 years is strongly influenced by parental smoking. The Keeping Kids Smokefree study is investigating whether changing parental smoking behavior and attitudes via a community-partnership approach with parents, schools, and local health providers can reduce smoking initiation by 11-12 year olds. It is a quasi-experimental trial involving four schools in an urban area of high social deprivation with large numbers of Māori and Pacific Islands families. Schools were allocated to intervention or control and the intervention was developed through a process of engagement with the schools, parents of children and local healthcare organizations. This article describes the rationale, context, methodology and methods involved in establishing the study. Building Māori and Pacific Islander research capacity was a secondary objective of the study.
尽管开展了协调一致、持续且全面的烟草控制工作，但吸烟在新西兰的年轻人中仍然很普遍，尤其是对毛利族和太平洋岛民青少年而言。许多人在十几岁之前就开始吸烟。新西兰的研究表明，14至15岁儿童的每日吸烟行为受父母吸烟的影响很大。“让孩子远离烟草”研究正在调查，通过与家长、学校和当地医疗服务提供者建立社区伙伴关系的方式来改变父母的吸烟行为和态度，是否能够减少11至12岁儿童开始吸烟的情况。这是一项准实验性试验，涉及一个社会贫困程度高、有大量毛利族和太平洋岛民家庭的城市地区的四所学校。学校被分配到干预组或对照组，干预措施是通过与学校、儿童家长和当地医疗组织的参与过程制定的。本文描述了开展该研究的基本原理、背景、方法和手段。建立毛利族和太平洋岛民的研究能力是该研究的次要目标。
