Parental prompting of smoking among adolescents in Tijuana, Mexico
Tóm tắt
Latino adolescents in the United States and Mexico may have higher rates of tobacco experimentation than other ethnic groups, possibly due to cultural factors and parental influences. This study examined three parental behaviors that may prompt smoking in children in Grades 3, 5, 7, and 9 in Tijuana, Mexico. Surveys were administered to 758 students in randomly selected classes in randomly selected schools in Tijuana. The most frequent prompt was the smoking parent asking the child to buy cigarettes (about two thirds), whereas about 60% asked the child to light the parent’s cigarette, and about 20% of smoking parents asked the child to place the cigarette in his or her mouth to light it. Rates of prompting were very low among third graders but increased by Grade 5. Mother’s smoking was associated with higher rates of all three types of parental prompting.
