In the MRC/Derbyshire Smoking Study a cohort of about 6000 adolescents was surveyed annually from 1974 when they entered secondary school aged 11-12 years until 1978 when they reached 15-16 years. In 1981 after the adolescents had left school they were again surveyed by post. Each year from 1974 to 1978 and again in 1981 they answered a questionnaire on their smoking behaviour and other issues. Information on the schools attended by these adolescents was obtained from their teachers and headteachers. This paper examines the relation between the school environment and the adolescents' smoking behaviour both before and after leaving school. The prevalence of smoking was higher among those boys who attended schools that were single sex, non-denominational, or had a parent-teacher association, no health education, no female teachers, or whose headteacher smoked cigarettes. Among girls the prevalence of smoking was higher if they attended a school that had optional school uniform and no health or antismoking education. The importance of these findings for the development of effective preventive measures is discussed.
在医学研究委员会/德比郡吸烟研究中，从1974年起对约6000名青少年组成的队列进行年度调查，当时他们11至12岁进入中学，一直到1978年他们15至16岁。1981年这些青少年离校后，又通过邮寄方式再次进行调查。从1974年到1978年每年以及1981年，他们都回答了一份关于吸烟行为及其他问题的问卷。这些青少年就读学校的信息是从他们的老师和校长那里获取的。本文研究了离校前后学校环境与青少年吸烟行为之间的关系。在那些就读于单性别、非宗教性质、有家长教师协会、没有健康教育、没有女教师或者校长吸烟的学校的男生中，吸烟率更高。在女生中，如果她们就读的学校有可选择的校服且没有健康或反吸烟教育，吸烟率更高。文中讨论了这些研究结果对于制定有效预防措施的重要性。
