Smoking susceptibility among students followed from grade six to eight
2011, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :In ninth grade 46% of girls and 22% of boys were non-smokers (Palmer, 1970). Gender differences have also been reported among adolescents who have tried smoking such that 15% of sixth grade girls compared to 19% of sixth grade boys had ever tried smoking (Pederson et al., 1997). Research points to two recurrent social situations in which smoking is initiated.
How are lifetime polytobacco users different than current cigarette-only users? Results from a Canadian young adult population
2009, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :We used the 2001–2003 data from a group of Canadian young adults (age range 20–24), collected as a part of a 10-year cohort study (Koval, Aubut, Pederson, O'Hegarty & Chan, 2005). The study's overall purpose was to explore the interrelationships between smoking behavior and a range of psychosocial and lifestyle factors (Pederson, Koval & O'Connor, 1997). Details of the study design and participant tracking can be found elsewhere (Koval, Pederson & Zhang, 2006; Mills, Pederson, Koval, Gushue & Aubut, 2000; Pederson, Koval, Chan & Zhang, 2007).
Variables related to tobacco use among young adults: Are there differences between males and females?
2007, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :The purpose of the present analyses was: 1) To examine the relationships of categories of smoking history, smoking environment, lifestyle, and psychosocial and attitudinal factors to current smoking, as compared to never smoking; 2) To determine which of these categories of variables, when taken together, distinguish between current and never smokers; and 3) To determine whether the important variables are different for males and females. Baseline information was collected in the spring of 1993 using an in-class self-administered questionnaire (Pederson et al., 1997). Annual tracking was done through contact with the original school, school system, schools outside of system, contact person provided by participants, internet resources, phone, e-mail and mailed lists.
