Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this study examined the associations among family bonding factors and the initiation of smoking by race/ethnicity and age group among nonsmokers at Wave 1. Overall, 18% of the sample initiated smoking by Wave 2. For younger African American and Hispanic youth, high maternal satisfaction with the relationship was significantly protective of smoking initiation. For older Hispanics, high parental presence and high parent-family connectedness were protective against smoking initiation while lack of awareness about the adolescent's whereabouts was a risk factor for initiation in both younger and older Caucasians, and in the older Hispanics. Our results underscore the importance of maintaining high levels of family bonding with the adolescent throughout early and late adolescence in order to decrease tobacco initiation.
本研究利用青少年健康全国纵向研究的数据，考察了在第1波调查中不吸烟人群中家庭关系因素与按种族/族裔和年龄组划分的吸烟起始情况之间的关联。总体而言，18%的样本在第2波调查时开始吸烟。对于较年轻的非裔美国人和西班牙裔青少年，母亲对关系的高度满意度对吸烟起始有显著的保护作用。对于年龄较大的西班牙裔，父母的高陪伴度和父母与家庭的高亲密度对吸烟起始有保护作用，而对青少年行踪缺乏了解是较年轻和较年长的白种人以及年龄较大的西班牙裔吸烟起始的一个风险因素。我们的结果强调了在整个青少年早期和晚期与青少年保持高度家庭关系以减少烟草起始的重要性。
