“…[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The few studies of the impact of these campaigns on youth smoking had mixed results. Community-and school-based interventions highlighted by a mass media campaign reduced smoking initiation rates among adolescents in Vermont, New York, and Montana, [21][22][23][24][25] Minnesota, 26 North Karelia, 27 and Norway, 28 but they failed to influence smoking behavior among youths in southern California 29 or the southeastern United States. 30 Existing studies have evaluated the results of research demonstration projects; it is not clear whether similar results could be expected from government-funded statewide media campaigns, which tend to target more homogeneous populations, provide less control over individual exposure, and introduce political factors that influence a program's effectiveness.…”

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.

“…A second generation of prevention efforts sought to use this information to design programmes to address these predictors of specific problem behaviours, which was more successful. 8,9 These prevention interventions focusing on single problems came under criticism, and there was a movement towards considering the co-occurrence of problem behaviours within the adolescent and understanding the overlap in predictors across many behaviours. 10 Others-ie, prevention practitioners, policy makers, and prevention scientists-advocated for more focus on factors that promote positive youth development, in addition to the focus on reducing factors that predict problems.…”

The burden of morbidity and mortality from non-communicable disease has risen worldwide and is accelerating in low-income and middle-income countries, whereas the burden from infectious diseases has declined. Since this transition, the prevention of non-communicable disease as well as communicable disease causes of adolescent mortality has risen in importance. Problem behaviours that increase the short-term or long-term likelihood of morbidity and mortality, including alcohol,

The Pediatrician's Role in Reducing Tobacco Exposure in Children

ABSTRACT. Objective. Pediatricians have a unique and important role to play in the prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent tobacco use, the protection of patients from the harmful effects of environmental tobacco smoke, and the encouragement of smoking cessation among parents. However, because recent research indicates that physician training in tobacco dependence is woefully weak and lacks a model for training, this article constructs a useful approach to this problem.Methodology. A comprehensive review of the literature served as the basis for the development of a new model for pediatrician training in tobacco dependence.Results. A comprehensive model is presented for training pediatricians in the areas of reducing infant and child exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, preventing youth smoking initiation, and providing smoking cessation assistance for adolescents and parents.Conclusions. Pediatricians have been called on to play an active role in the antitobacco arena. Because of their unique opportunity to interact with children, adolescents, and parents, pediatricians can and should be antitobacco interventionists. For this to occur, however, additional guidance should be provided to pediatricians during their training to better prepare them to carry out effective assessment and intervention practices.
