AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine family and peer influences on smoking behaviors among 239 (191 smokers; 48 nonsmokers) psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents. Participants were queried using scales to measure parental supervision and monitoring, parenting style, adolescent-parent communication, family conflict and relations with parents, and the importance placed on life goals. The results of this study are consistent with previous findings from general population studies. Psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents' smoking status were also correlated with their siblings', peers', and girlfriends'/boyfriends' smoking status. In addition, we found that parental monitoring, closeness to parents, and ambitious life goals were protective factors against smoking. As a result, peer and family influences strongly impact the initiation and maintenance of adolescent smoking and should be considered when designing smoking cessation interventions for adolescents with psychiatric disorders.
