“…This limited the comparison of anxiety levels across the class standing to those in the upper classes. Another limitation was the low response rate (7%) as compared to the response rate for a similar paper‐and‐pencil survey (60%) in the same population and setting (Staten et al., ). The first year college students in the study of Sax, Gilmartin, and Bryant () had a lower response rate to the web‐based method compared to paper‐and‐pencil survey.…”

“…We focused upon social context for several reasons. First, there is ample evidence to support the role of peer influence on adolescent smoking [13], including college smoking [14,15]. Secondly, previous research suggests that incoming students seek to establish new social relationships that provide support and intimacy, and facilitate the transition to college [16,17].…”

The transition into college is marked by changes in smoking, with smoking escalating for some students and continuing into the sophomore year. Shifts in social context that support smoking were associated with trajectories of smoking. Despite the focus of developmental models on smoking in early adolescence, the transition into college warrants further investigation as a dynamic period for smoking.

“…These studies provide evidence that alcohol use predicts subsequent smoking initiation (Costa et al, 2007;Myers et al, 2009), predicts increases in smoking following initiation (Saules et al, 2004), and is associated with past-year smoking initiation (Reed et al, 2007(Reed et al, , 2010Staten et al, 2007). Costa and colleagues (2007) found that baseline alcohol use (frequency of intoxication in the past month and consequences from drinking in the past month) was signifi cantly higher among college freshman never-smokers who initiated smoking by a 2-year follow-up than among those who did not initiate smoking.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:Little is known about the relationship between cigarette smoking initiation and subsequent alcohol involvement. To address this question, the present study compared alcohol use between students who initiated smoking during college and a matched sample of never-smoking students. We hypothesized greater increases in alcohol involvement among smoking initiators, mediated by exposure to cigarette use situations. Method: Included in the present study were 104 Chinese American and Korean American undergraduates who at baseline (freshman year) reported never having smoked a cigarette. Subjects were drawn from 433 participants in a naturalistic longitudinal study of tobacco use who were assessed annually each year in college. Cigarette smoking status was assessed annually as part of a structured interview. Initiators and never-smokers were matched on gender, ethnicity, baseline alcohol use, parental smoking status, and behavioral undercontrol. Results:As predicted, participants who initiated smoking during college reported signifi cantly greater increases in the number of past-30-day total drinks consumed (p < .001) and reported greater prevalence of heavy drinking episodes (p < .05). The effect of smoking initiation on the change in the number of past-30-day drinks at the fi nal assessment was partially mediated by exposure to smoking (p < .05). Exploratory analyses indicated that greater recent smoking signifi cantly predicted increased alcohol consumption over and above the effect of exposure. Conclusions: Students who initiate smoking during college appear at risk for increased alcohol involvement. Part of this risk is explained by environmental contextual factors, specifi cally exposure to situations involving other smokers that also may result in greater exposure to alcohol use. (J. Stud.
