DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Background: In a previous prospective study, we found that viewing smoking in movies strongly predicted smoking initiation among adolescents 10 to 14 years of age, even after adjusting for other social influences, child and parenting characteristics. We now propose to continue following this cohort of adolescents. Aims: The primary aims of this study are to evaluate the effect of viewing smoking in movies on the risk of becoming an established smoker, evaluate the impact of age on the relationship between movie smoking exposure and smoking initiation, and identify child and parenting factors that may modify the effect of exposure to movie smoking on adolescent smoking behavior. Methods: To accomplish these aims, we propose a three-year longitudinal telephone survey of the 2603 adolescents who participated in our previous prospective study. These adolescents are now 14 to 18 years of age. Participants will be surveyed annually to update their smoking status, movie exposure, and other risk factors for smoking. As in our previous study, surveys will be administered using a CATI system and each individual survey will contain a unique subset of movies, randomly selected from a larger sample of top box office hits and video rentals. Survey responses will be linked with information from a content analysis of smoking in movies to estimate an individual's exposure to movie smoking. Significance: These adolescents are now at the age of highest risk for smoking uptake. The proposed follow-up is optimally timed to evaluate the impact of movies on smoking initiation in late adolescence and on established smoking. Our previous study of this cohort produced highly significant findings that catalyzed a dialogue between 28 Attorneys General and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Results from the proposed study will extend our earlier findings by clarifying the impact of movie smoking exposure on later age smoking initiation and, importantly, on progression to established smoking.

描述（由申请人提供）：背景：在先前的前瞻性研究中，我们发现在电影中观看吸烟，即使在调整了其他社会影响力，儿童和育儿特征之后，青少年的吸烟开始就可以预测10至14岁。现在，我们建议继续遵循这一青少年。 目的：这项研究的主要目的是评估电影中观看吸烟的影响，即成为成为既定吸烟者的风险，评估年龄对电影吸烟和吸烟开始之间关系的影响，并确定可能修改电影吸烟对青少年吸烟行为的影响的儿童和育儿因素。 方法：为了实现这些目标，我们建议对参加我们先前的前瞻性研究的2603名青少年进行三年的纵向电话调查。这些青少年现在年仅14至18岁。将每年对参与者进行调查，以更新其吸烟状况，电影曝光和其他吸烟风险因素。与我们先前的研究一样，调查将使用CATI系统进行，每个调查都将包含独特的电影子集，从较大的顶级票房命中和视频租赁样本中随机选择。调查回答将与电影中吸烟的内容分析的信息有关，以估计个人接触电影吸烟的信息。 意义：这些青少年现在处于吸烟摄入量最高的年龄。拟议的后续行动是最佳的时间，以评估电影对青春期后期和既定吸烟的影响的影响。我们先前对该队列的研究提出了非常重要的发现，该发现催化了28个律师和美国电影协会（MPAA）之间的对话。拟议的研究的结果将通过阐明电影吸烟对后来的吸烟开始的影响以及对既定吸烟的发展的影响来扩展我们的早期发现。
