This study identified latent classes of adolescent smoking and examined race, gender, and physician communication (PC) as predictors of class membership. Data were drawn from five waves of a large ( = 3,049), diverse (82.9% African American) study. Several latent classes were identified: nonsmoker, quitter, early-onset escalating smoking, early-onset stable high smoking, late-onset smoking, and declining smoking. Males, Whites, and teens who received PC were more likely to be in classes with more smoking. Our study identified several youth smoking patterns and differences in smoking based on race, gender, and receipt of PC.
这项研究确定了青少年吸烟的潜在类别，并考察了种族、性别和医生沟通（PC）对类别的预测作用。数据来自一项大型（ = 3049 人）、多样化（82.9%的参与者为非裔美国人）研究的五个波次。研究确定了几种潜在类别：非吸烟者、戒烟者、早发吸烟增加者、早发稳定高吸烟者、晚发吸烟者和吸烟减少者。男性、白人以及接受 PC 的青少年更有可能处于吸烟更多的类别中。我们的研究根据种族、性别和接受 PC 的情况，确定了几种青少年吸烟模式和吸烟差异。
