A B S T R A C TObjectives. We examined the impact of a statewide antismoking media campaign on progression to established smoking among Massachusetts adolescents.Methods. We conducted a 4-year longitudinal survey of 592 Massachusetts youths, aged 12 to 15 years at baseline in 1993. We examined the effect of baseline exposure to television, radio, and outdoor antismoking advertisements on progression to established smoking (defined as having smoked 100 or more cigarettes), using multiple logistic regression and controlling for age; sex; race; baseline smoking status; smoking by parents, friends, and siblings; television viewing; and exposure to antismoking messages not related to the media campaign.Results. Among younger adolescents (aged 12 to 13 years at baseline), those reporting baseline exposure to television antismoking advertisements were significantly less likely to progress to established smoking (odds ratio = 0.49, 95% confidence interval = 0.26, 0.93). Exposure to television antismoking advertisements had no effect on progression to established smoking among older adolescents (aged 14 to 15 years at baseline), and there were no effects of exposure to radio or outdoor advertisements.Conclusions. These results suggest that the television component of the Massachusetts antismoking media campaign may have reduced the rate of progression to established smoking among young adolescents.

“…Estimates of the intracluster correlation have been provided in [21,22,23,27,29] for smoking-related outcomes from school-based intervention studies; in [12] for health-related outcomes from worksite based studies; in [18,19] for community trials of mortality; and in [10,32] from complex surveys. A summary of these sources is given in [5, p. 56, Table 5.1].…”

The purpose of this article is to compare efficiencies of several cluster randomized designs using the method of quantile dispersion graphs (QDGs). A cluster randomized design is considered whenever subjects are randomized at a group level but analyzed at the individual level. A prior knowledge of the correlation existing between subjects within the same cluster is necessary to design these cluster randomized trials. Using the QDG approach, we are able to compare several cluster randomized designs without requiring any information on the intracluster correlation. For a given design, several quantiles of the power function, which are directly related to the effect size, are obtained for several effect sizes. The quantiles depend on the intracluster correlation present in the model. The dispersion of these quantiles over the space of the unknown intracluster correlation is determined, and then depicted by the QDGs. Two applications of the proposed methodology are presented.quantile dispersion graphs, power function, intracluster correlation, effect size, noncentrality parameter,

“…In many countries, health education is part of the school curriculum, which facilitates the inclusion of the smoking prevention activities in this curriculum (Murray et al, 1992;Wenter et al, 2002). At the same time, school-based smoking prevention programmes can reach wide audiences and there are opportunities for interpersonal communication, which is important for the fine-tuning of the message.…”

“…Numerous academic and non-academic demands placed on schools as well as the broad range of different health topics might impede a thorough implementation of all programmes. Besides, the implementation of school-based smoking prevention programmes depends not only on limited time, but also on sometimes insufficiently trained or unmotivated personnel (Murray et al, 1992, Lotrean et al, 2010.…”
