“…Students in higher school grades (10–12) were more likely to be heavy drinkers among both BC Asian and South Korean adolescents. These results are consistent with previous studies on adolescents in South Korea (Chung & Joung, 2013), US (Chung & Joung, 2018), and in BC (Smith et al, 2019) and Ontario, Canada (Larsen et al, 2017). There are two potential rationales explaining these findings, based on maturation or on stress.…”

“…Smoking cigarettes was the strongest risk factor, which is consistent with previous studies of adolescents in South Korea (Chung & Joung, 2013) and US (Chung & Joung, 2018) which showed cigarette use as the main predictor of heavy drinking. Similarly, a study from Ontario, Canada showed a significant overlap in cigarette smoking and heavy drinking (Larsen et al, 2017). School connectedness, including good relationships with school personnel, have been identified as helpful interventions for relieving stress or depressive symptoms for Korean adolescents (Lim et al, 2016), and for lower odds of heavy drinking among BC adolescents generally (Gèczy et al, 2020).…”

“…Previous studies exploring predictors related to heavy drinking among adolescents in various countries have identified a number of predictors, including differences by gender (Iwamoto et al, 2016), school grade (Chung & Joung, 2013;Larsen et al, 2017), bullying victimization (Wang et al, 2018), depression (Lamis, Ballard, May, & Dvorak, 2016), sleep quality (Hasler et al, 2017), exercise (Chung & Joung, 2018), current cigarette smoking (Chung & Joung, 2013), and sexual experience (Wang et al, 2018). Although these demographic characteristics and health and risk behaviors are often related or co-occurring, most of the preceding studies have studied only one concept, or have been studied only in the adolescents of one country (Chung & Joung, 2013), or have been conducted in other countries, such as US (Chung & Joung, 2018;Iwamoto et al, 2016).…”

The aim of this study is to compare the factors related to heavy drinking among British Columbia (BC) Asian adolescents and South Korean adolescents. Design and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. Participants were 72,422 adolescents (12,382 BC Asian adolescents and 60,040 South Korean adolescents) from the 2018 BC Adolescent Health Survey and the 2018 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. Complex samples descriptive statistics, Rao-Scott χ 2 tests, and complex samples logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Heavy drinking was reported by 8.6% of BC Asian adolescents and 7.7% of South Korean adolescents. Asian adolescents in BC and South Korea shared six risk factors and one protective factor linked to odds of heavy drinking. The strongest risk factor for heavy drinking in each region was current cigarette smoking. Other risk factors for heavy drinking included older age/higher grade (10/12th), early initiation of sexual intercourse (age 14 or younger), experiences of bullying, depression, and exercise. The only protective factor for heavy drinking, sufficient sleep, was similar in both regions. Practice Implications: This study suggests several nursing interventions and health promotion strategies to help us to prevent or reduce heavy drinking for BC Asian adolescents and South Korean adolescents.

“…As a result, one reason for the discrepancy could be that female Indigenous youth are subject to more social stressors than their male counterparts and tobacco smoking acts as a coping mechanism (De Finney et al, 2013). In terms of age, the literature on Canadian youth smoking rates indicates that when compared to their younger counterparts, older adolescents are more likely to smoke tobacco (Larsen et al, 2017).…”

Tobacco Smoking Among First Nations Youth Living On-Reserve and in Northern Communities: A Mixed Methods Study

The prevalence of tobacco smoking among First Nations youth living on reserve and in Northern communities is significantly higher than off-reserve Indigenous youth in Southern communities and non-Indigenous youth, although the majority do not smoke. Using a mixed-methods approach, we examine factors that support on-reserve First Nations youth’s resilience to smoking. Logistic regression analyses using data from the nationally representative First Nations Regional Early Childhood, Education, and Employment Survey suggest that not using other substances, having friends who do not smoke or use other substances, and having good mental health is associated with not smoking. A review of select community initiatives and in-depth interviews with First Nations anti-tobacco initiative managers and frontline workers about the initiatives also revealed the need for gender- and community-specific programming, recognition of Indigenous social determinants of health, and addressing the normalization of smoking in some community contexts.

“…Using papers published in Health and Place as an example, recent years have seen a much-needed attention directed to supply-side factors which have influenced smoking initiation and prevalence rates in HICs. Particularly important has been an increased focus on the density of tobacco retailers, especially near schools, with recent papers extending consideration to e-cigarette retail and use (Bostean et al, 2018(Bostean et al, , 2016Corsi and Lippert, 2016;Larsen et al, 2017;Lipperman-Kreda et al, 2015;Yu and Lippert, 2017). Other studies have examined youth smoking more broadly, seeking to understand the relevance of neighbourhood effects (Frohlich et al, 2002) and disentangle the general impact of proximity to tobacco retail (Mennis et al, 2016).…”

The tobacco endgame: The neglected role of place and environment

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An increasing number of countries across the world are planning for the eradication of the tobacco epidemic. The actions necessary to realise this ambition have been termed the tobacco endgame. The focus of this paper is on the intersection between the tobacco endgame with place, a neglected theme in recent academic and policy debates. We begin with an overview of the key themes in the literature on endgame strategies before detailing the international landscape of engame initiatives, paying particular attention to the opportunities and challenges of endgame strategies in low and middle income countries. Finally, we critically assess the current endgame debates and suggest a novel agenda for integrating geographical perspectives into research on the endgame that provides enhanced understanding of the challenges associated with this important global health vision.
