Parental prompts as risk factors for adolescent trial smoking: Results of a prospective cohort study
Article Abstract:
The relationship between several risk factors, including parental prompting, parental smoking, familism, and adolescent socio-demographic factors with trial use of cigarettes is investigated in a sample of 478 adolescents that include a large number of Latinos. Results suggest that parental prompts to smoke were not significantly related to smoking initiation among adolescents over a one-year period.
