“…Besides extensiveness of smoking, the best documented feature of nicotine dependence is its comorbidity with psychiatric disorders, especially depressive mood, anxiety, disruptive and personality disorders (Dierker et al, 2001;DiFranza et al, 2004b;Isensee et al, 2003;O'Loughlin et al, 2002;Rojas et al, 1998;Sonntag et al, 2000). This association among adolescents replicates findings among adults (Breslau et al, 1991(Breslau et al, ,1993b(Breslau et al, ,1994John et al, 2004;Kendler et al, 1993;Kessler, 2004).…”

“…Adolescents experience symptoms of nicotine dependence (Centers for Disease Control, 1994;Colby et al, 2000;DiFranza et al, 2000DiFranza et al, ,2002Fergusson et al, 1996;Kandel et al, 2005;Karp et al, 2006;McNeill et al, 1986;Nelson and Wittchen, 1998;O'Loughlin et al, 2002O'Loughlin et al, ,2003O'Loughlin et al, ,2004Prokhorov et al, 1998Prokhorov et al, ,2001Prokhorov et al, ,2005Rojas et al, 1998;Sledjeski et al, 2007;Stanton, 1995), although crude rates of dependence are lower among adolescents than adults (Andreski and Breslau, 1993;Anthony et al, 1994;Heishman et al, 1997;Kandel, 2003;Kandel et al, 1997;Kandel and Chen, 2000). Age-specific comparisons based on cross-sectional samples document that rates increase rapidly throughout adolescence up to age 18 when they stabilize (Kandel, 2003;Nelson and Wittchen, 1998).…”

Little is known about the natural history of drug dependence. This article describes the development and predictors of DSM-IV nicotine dependence in adolescence when tobacco use is initiated. In a two-stage design, a survey was administered to 6th-10th graders in the Chicago Public Schools to select a cohort of adolescents. Household interviews were conducted with adolescents five times and with one parent (predominantly mothers) three times over two years. The analytical sample includes 353 youths, who started using tobacco within 12 months preceding Wave 1 or between Waves 1-5. Survival analysis estimated latency to individual DSM-IV nicotine dependence criteria and the full dependence syndrome. Twenty-five percent of youths experienced the syndrome within 23 months of tobacco use onset. Tolerance, impaired control and withdrawal were experienced most frequently. Youths who experienced full dependence experienced their first symptom faster after tobacco use onset than those who experienced only one criterion through the end of the observation period. Cox proportional hazards models estimated the importance of time-constant and time-varying sociodemographic, tobacco and other drug use, parental and peer smoking, social psychological and biological risk factors for experiencing the first criterion and the full syndrome. Pleasant initial sensitivity to tobacco and number of cigarettes smoked the prior month predicted both outcomes. Parental dependence predicted the full syndrome. Significant covariates were generally the same across gender and racial/ethnic subgroups. The predictive significance of the initial smoking experience and parental dependence highlight the potential importance of genetic factors in the etiology of nicotine dependence.

“…6,27,28 Epidemiologic data from longitudinal studies provide further evidence that overweight, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension track over time from childhood into adult life and that lifestyle choices, eg, diet, excess caloric intake, physical inactivity, and cigarette smoking, influence these risk factors. [29][30][31][32][33][34] Intervention studies aimed at measuring the efficacy and safety of diets reduced in total and saturated fat and cholesterol have also now contributed evidence at both the clinical and school-based levels. [35][36][37] A meta-analysis of adult studies of low-saturated fat, low-cholesterol diets suggested that introduction of the diet lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol an average of 12%, with a 1.93 mg/dL decline in LDL cholesterol for every 1% decline in saturated fat.…”

Since the American Heart Association last presented nutrition guidelines for children, significant changes have occurred in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and nutrition behaviors in children. Overweight has increased, whereas saturated fat and cholesterol intake have decreased, at least as percentage of total caloric intake. Better understanding of children's cardiovascular risk status and current diet is available from national survey data. New research on the efficacy of diet intervention in children has been published. Also, increasing attention has been paid to the importance of nutrition early in life, including the fetal milieu. This scientific statement summarizes current available information on cardiovascular nutrition in children and makes recommendations for both primordial and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease beginning at a young age.

Objective-Well-documented challenges have hampered both intervention development and research in teen smoking cessation. Addressing these challenges, the Hutchinson Study of High School Smoking (HS Study), the largest group-randomized trial in adolescent smoking cessation to date, incorporates several design innovations to investigate the effect of a counselor-initiated, individually tailored telephone counseling smoking cessation intervention for older adolescents. This paper presents and discusses these innovative design features, and baseline findings on the resulting study population.Method-The trial used a population-based survey to proactively identify and recruit all high school juniors who had smoked in the past month-potentially expanding intervention reach to all smokers, even those who smoked less than daily and those not motivated to quit. For ethical and intervention reasons, some nonsmokers were enrolled in the intervention, also. Other important design features included the random allocation of schools into experimental conditions (intervention vs. nointervention control) and a multi-wave design.Results & Conclusion-The design innovations address problems and challenges identified in adolescent smoking cessation literature. The heterogeneous baseline characteristics of the study population, well-balanced between the two arms, have three significant implications: They (1) demonstrate the effectiveness of the trial's design features, (2) highlight several intervention-related issues, and (3) provide assurance that the trial's evaluation of intervention effectiveness will be unbiased.
