The ability to identify groups of children at risk of initiating a smoking habit may prove useful in developing effective smoking prevention programs. This report includes data collected over a three-year period, and attempts to predict adolescents' smoking behavior using both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. In addition, predictor variables reflecting both interpersonal and intrapersonal domains were included. Results indicated the highest rates of accurate classification into smoking categories were achieved with cross-sectional analyses. In addition, interpersonal variables emerged as most important in all analyses. Implications for smoking prevention programming are discussed.
识别有开始吸烟习惯风险的儿童群体的能力，可能在制定有效的吸烟预防计划方面被证明是有用的。本报告包括了在三年期间收集的数据，并尝试通过横断面分析和纵向分析来预测青少年的吸烟行为。此外，还纳入了反映人际和个人领域的预测变量。结果表明，横断面分析在将人群准确分类到吸烟类别方面的准确率最高。此外，人际变量在所有分析中都被证明是最重要的。本文还讨论了对吸烟预防规划的启示。
