DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The unacceptably high rates of youth smoking, together with the failure to date of school-based interventions to effect long-term reductions in youth smoking, argue for new, innovative, theory-driven investigations of the youth smoking acquisition process. Responding to this need, this study will use a novel statistical model based on epidemic-type transmission of smoking, and high quality data resources from a well-maintained, 10-year cohort of 4,211 children, to investigate (1) to what extent smokers in each of six social environments of the child can predict youth smoking acquisition and progression through smoking stages, (2) to what extent certain child personality characteristics and home/school smoking policies act as effect modifiers for these predictions, and (3) to what extent selected tobacco-specific beliefs act as mediators. The study design employs a new and potentially productive epidemic model of youth smoking acquisition. The model is grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) [Bandura, 1986], positing that behavior is primarily derived from social exposures. In terms of infectious disease epidemics, infected persons (i.e., "smokers") in the child's social environment transmit the disease ("smoking behavior") to the uninfected ("non- smoking") child. The Investigations capitalize on availability of data on smoking in six social environments of the child: parents, siblings, close friends, same-grade classmates, older schoolmates, and school staff. The population-based nature of the cohort will yield generalizable results. This study design will -- quickly and efficiently -- yield critically needed and easily interpretable information on the simultaneous influences of smokers in the child's various social environments on both smoking and progressions through smoking stages, and on Interactions with personality and school/home smoking policies. The results can be expected to help contribute to the smoking and cancer mortality reduction goals of the National Cancer Program.

描述（由申请人提供）：青年吸烟率高的高率，以及未能在学校的干预措施上进行长期减少青年吸烟的措施，主张对青年吸烟过程的新，创新，理论驱动的调查。为了满足这一需求，本研究将使用一个新的统计模型，基于流行性吸烟的传播以及从维持良好的10年组成的4,211名儿童的高质量数据资源来调查（1）儿童六个社交环境中的吸烟者在何种程度上吸烟的儿童在何种程度上可以预测青少年吸烟阶段的吸烟阶段，以某些范围的吸烟阶段（2）造成的范围，以下是某些范围的动物，以某些范围的特征（2）范围（2）造成的特征（2）这些预测以及（3）在多大程度上选择的烟草特异性信念是介体。该研究设计采用了一种新的且潜在的富有生产力的青少年吸烟的流行模型。该模型基于社会认知理论（SCT）[Bandura，1986]，认为该行为主要源于社会暴露。就传染病流行而言，儿童社交环境中受感染的人（即“吸烟者”）将疾病（“吸烟行为”）传递给未感染的（“非吸烟”）儿童。调查利用了儿童六个社交环境中吸烟的数据的可用性：父母，兄弟姐妹，密友，同年级同学，老年同学和同学。基于人群的队列性质将产生可概括的结果。 这项研究设计将 - 迅速有效地产生至关重要的，易于解释的信息，以了解儿童各种社交环境中吸烟者对吸烟和进展的同时影响，并通过吸烟阶段以及与个性以及个性和学校/家庭吸烟政策的互动。可以预期，结果有助于为国家癌症计划的吸烟和癌症死亡率降低目标做出贡献。
