Because of the high prevalence of tobacco use in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, public health officials in many of these countries have designated as a priority the prevention of smoking initiation among youth. In 1995, a nationally representative survey in the Republic of Hungary documented that 35.8% of 16-year-old students in that country had smoked cigarettes during the preceding 30 days. To better characterize smoking among youth in Hungary, the Field Epidemiology Training Program, Hungarian Ministry of Welfare, conducted a cross-sectional survey in Budapest (1995 population: 1,906,798) among secondary school students aged 14-18 years. Specific objectives of the survey were to assess the prevalence of cigarette smoking among these students, determine factors associated with higher prevalences, and describe the smoking habits of current cigarette smokers. This report summarizes the findings, which indicate that one third of all students smoked; half of all 18-year-olds smoked; and of those students who smoked, 41% most frequently smoked an imported, internationally recognized cigarette brand.
由于中东欧国家烟草使用率很高,这些国家中的许多公共卫生官员已将预防青少年开始吸烟列为优先事项。1995年,匈牙利共和国一项具有全国代表性的调查记录显示,该国35.8%的16岁学生在过去30天内吸过烟。为了更好地描述匈牙利青少年吸烟情况,匈牙利福利部现场流行病学培训项目在布达佩斯(1995年人口:1,906,798)对14至18岁的中学生进行了一项横断面调查。该调查的具体目标是评估这些学生中吸烟的流行情况,确定与较高流行率相关的因素,并描述当前吸烟者的吸烟习惯。本报告总结了调查结果,结果表明所有学生中有三分之一吸烟;所有18岁的学生中有一半吸烟;在吸烟的学生中,41%最常吸的是进口的、国际知名的香烟品牌。
