In the MRC/Derbyshire Smoking Study, a cohort of about 6000 adolescents was surveyed annually about their smoking behaviour, attitudes, and other issues from when they entered secondary school at 11-12 until 15-16 years and then again at 18-19 years. Their parents answered a similar questionnaire when their children were aged 11-12 and 15-16 years. In this paper we report the findings of an investigation focussed on the relation between parents' and childrens' smoking behaviour and attitudes at different stages of adolescence. It reveals substantial agreement between children's and parents' reports of parents' smoking behaviour and attitudes, that children from one-parent families are more likely than their peers to smoke, and that boys are more likely to smoke if their fathers smoke and girls if their mothers smoke. In addition, maternal attitudes were independently related to the boys' smoking behaviour. The implications of these findings for health education are discussed.
在医学研究委员会/德比郡吸烟研究中，对约6000名青少年组成的队列进行了年度调查，内容涉及他们的吸烟行为、态度及其他问题，调查时间从他们11至12岁进入中学开始，一直持续到15至16岁，然后在18至19岁时再次进行。当孩子11至12岁和15至16岁时，他们的父母回答了一份类似的问卷。在本文中，我们报告了一项调查的结果，该调查聚焦于青春期不同阶段父母与孩子的吸烟行为及态度之间的关系。结果显示，在父母吸烟行为及态度方面，孩子与父母的报告存在很大一致性；来自单亲家庭的孩子比同龄人更有可能吸烟；如果父亲吸烟，男孩更有可能吸烟，如果母亲吸烟，女孩更有可能吸烟。此外，母亲的态度与男孩的吸烟行为独立相关。本文还讨论了这些发现对健康教育的启示。
