Adolescent Smoking: Onset and Prevention
1 Harward School of Public Health, Boston, and the Stanford University School of Education and the Stanford Community Health Project, Stanford, California
Despite the systemic and conceptual barriers to effective preventive actions, some progress is beginning to be made in preventing adoption of self-destructive behaviors during adolescence. Application of the concept of psychological inoculation against social environmental factors that influence young people to adopt unhealthy life-styles is showing promise in short-term results of ongoing longitudinal studies. Researchers in pediatrics who are interested in prevention as a means of health promotion should become acquainted with these techniques to provide effective leadership in the field.
