The Minnesota Legislature has allocated up to 25 million dollars per year in interest revenues from the Minnesota (MN) tobacco settlement endowments to the MN Department of Health (MDH) for tobacco-use prevention. These funds are designated for comprehensive programs at the local and state levels to reduce tobacco use by adolescents. This longitudinal study proposes to use a combination of cohort, cross-sectional, and time-series designs to measure adolescent tobacco-use patterns and tobacco- related attitudes and perceptions over time at the community and individual level. The purpose of this study is to relate implementation of programs funded by the MN tobacco prevention endowment to changes in tobacco-use behaviors and attitudes of youth within individuals, communities, and the state. This study will help to identify the most beneficial strategies and methods for local and state tobacco control programs, and to measure the overall effect of the MN tobacco prevention endowment on youth. The main outcome measures collected from telephone surveys will be tobacco-use behaviors and attitudes among adolescents, and the progression of tobacco use for individuals within cohorts; these will be aggregated at the state and local level. Measures of susceptibility to tobacco use, ever use of tobacco, frequency, quantity, duration and regularity of tobacco use, and attempts to quit using tobacco will be obtained. The natural history of tobacco-use behaviors in youth is not well understood. By collecting data every six months over three years on the youth cohort, the developmental patterns of tobacco use and the predictors of changes in these patterns will be defined more precisely. The aims of the study are to document the implementation of the comprehensive tobacco prevention and control program at the state and local level; to analyze the effects of the program over three years on adolescents age 12-18; to collaborate with MDH to integrate findings into the overall evaluation of the MN program, and to identify "best practices" for tobacco control at the local and statewide level; and to further describe and define the developmental process of transition from nonsmoker to smoker.

明尼苏达州立法机关每年从明尼苏达州（MN）烟草和解捐赠给MN卫生部（MDH）的烟草预防捐款中的利息收入多达2500万美元。 这些资金被指定为地方和州一级的综合计划，以减少青少年使用的烟草使用。 这项纵向研究建议将队列，横截面和时间序列设计组合来测量青少年烟草使用模式，以及在社区和个人水平上随着时间的推移而随着时间的推移而产生的相关态度和感知。 这项研究的目的是将预防MN烟草预防捐赠资助的计划的实施与个人，社区和国家内烟草使用行为的变化和青年态度的变化联系起来。 这项研究将有助于确定局部和州烟草控制计划的最有益的策略和方法，并衡量预防MN烟草对青年的总体影响。通过电话调查收集的主要结果措施将是青少年的烟草使用行为和态度，以及在同龄人群中对烟草使用的进展；这些将在州和地方一级进行汇总。 将获得烟草使用的易感性，烟草使用的频率，数量，持续时间和规律性的措施，以及尝试退出使用烟草的尝试。 年轻人中烟草使用行为的自然历史尚不清楚。 通过在青年队列的三年内每六个月收集数据，烟草使用的发展模式和这些模式变化的预测将得到更精确的定义。 该研究的目的是记录州和地方一级的综合烟草预防和控制计划的实施；分析该计划在三年内对12-18岁青少年的影响；与MDH合作，将发现集成到MN计划的整体评估中，并确定在本地和全州层面的烟草控制的“最佳实践”；并进一步描述和定义从不吸烟者到吸烟者的发展过程。
