“…Results from this study mirrored the findings of DeMoor and colleagues, 12 in that gender (ie, being male) and having close friends who used tobacco predicted both smoking and SLT use. Again, despite some similarities in risk profiles, smokers and SLT users exhibited different profiles overall.…”

Cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco (SLT) use are associated with numerous health hazards and economic costs, and rates of tobacco use have recently increased among young adults. In this study, the authors compared predictors of smoking and SLT use among college students (N = 21,410) from 13 Texas universities using a Web-based survey. Results revealed that sex, belonging to a fraternity or sorority, participation in intercollegiate sports, peer influences, and ethnicity predicted smoking and SLT use. Although common factors predicted both lifetime and current smoking and SLT use, patterns of prediction differed across dependent variables. The authors discuss implications for developing tobacco prevention programs targeting specific risk factors salient to the young adult population.

“…(1985). Other factors strongly related to ST onset and use that may be a result of this risk-taking characteristic include the experimentation and use of alcohol, marijuana and/or cigarettes (Ary et al, 1989;Ary et al, 1987;Botvin et al, 1989;Boyle et al, t997;deMoor et al, 1994;Dent et al, 1987;Gottlieb et al, 1993;Jones & Moberg, 1988;Lichtenstein, Severson, Friedman, & Ary, 1984;Murray et al, 1988;Peterson, Marek, & Mann, 1989;Riley et al, 1990;Riley et al, 1991;Riley et al, 1989;Rouse, 1989;Simon, Sussman, Dent, Burton, & Flay, 1993;Sussman et al, 1989). In fact, this observation led investigators to state that ST use is an additional activity among male adolescents who tend to experiment with drugs (Dent et al, 1987).…”

“…Social factors that seem to be very strongly related to the use of ST include modeling and acceptance of use, e.g. peers or fi'iends that use ST or smoke cigarettes, parental use, and acceptance or perceived approval of use (Ary et al, 1989;Bonaguro, Pugh, & Bonagnro, 1986;Boyle, Claxton, & Forster, 1997;Chassin et al, 1985;Cohen, Sattler, Felix, & Brownell, 1987;deMoor et al, 1994;Dent et al, 1987;Gottlieb et aI., 1993;Gritz, Ksir, & McCarthy, 1985;Hill et al, 1992;Lisnerski et aI., 1991;Marty et al, 1986;Riley et al, 1990;Riley et at., 1991;Riley et at., 1989;Salehi & Elder, 1995;Williams, Guyton, Marry, McDermott, & Young, 1986). The extent of these influences may be a function of age.…”

The prevalence of smokeless tobacco is significant and reaches as high as 17% past month use in white males aged 18-25. Smokeless tobacco use is of concern because of the potential for addiction and the associated negative health consequences. This article reviews the basis for addiction to smokeless tobacco, examining the nicotine content in smokeless tobacco products, pharmacokinetics, psychoactive effects, tolerance, and withdrawal. It also explores the negative health consequences which include a number of oral pathologies and increased cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, it examines the factors associated with the initiation of smokeless tobacco use, and the current prevention programs that address these factors. Current smokeless tobacco treatment approaches are also discussed as well as predictors for abstinence. Finally, the future directions are discussed in light of the limited amount of research that has been conducted in the smokeless tobacco area, particularly related to prevention and treatment.

“…When reaching high-school age, those youths who are unable to remain in the comprehensive school system for functional reasons, including substance use, are transferred to a continuation high school. Continuation high-school students report much higher levels of drug use than traditional high-school students (e.g., weekly use of marijuana is 36% versus 9%, respectively) (DeMoor et al 1994;Newcomb et al 1987;Sussman et al 1995b). Continuation high schools as such do not cause youths to continue to use drugs.…”

Abstract-This paper presents the rationale for and description of the empirical curriculum development process in Project Towards No Drug Abuse (Project TND), which is a five-year grant funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. First, the target population is described, continuation high-school youths who are at high risk for drug abuse. The rationale for developing a classroombased curriculum tailored for them is also provided. Second, a brief description is provided of state-of-the-art generic social influences drug abuse prevention programming, which has been found to be the most effective among young adolescents. There is a the need to consider other prevention activities, particularly those that include motivational variables, to maximize prevention efforts among higher-risk youths. Third, five types of curriculum development studies are discussed that led to a curriculum that is being implemented with continuation high-school students at schools in five counties in southern California. Finally, the contents of the final curriculum product is provided, which consists of motivation, skills-training, and decision-making components.
