Abstract (AI)
Felipe G. Castro, Ebrahim Maddahian, Michael D. Newcomb, P. M. Bentler, A Multivariate Model of the Determinants of Cigarette Smoking Among Adolescents, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Vol. 28, No. 3 (Sep., 1987), pp. 273-289
Key Findings
1
Modeling determinants simultaneously helps identify key predictors for targeted prevention efforts among adolescents.
2
Multiple factors jointly determine adolescent cigarette smoking, and a multivariate model can represent their combined influence.
3
The study integrates psychosocial and behavioral determinants to explain variation in adolescent smoking behavior.
4
Using a multivariate approach clarifies relative contributions of different predictors rather than single-factor explanations.
Research Object
Adolescent cigarette smoking behavior (adolescents who smoke cigarettes)
Research Subject
Determinants of cigarette smoking measured via a multivariate model (factors influencing initiation and level of smoking among adolescents)
