Parent–adolescent communication is assumed to be an important factor affecting adolescent smoking behavior. However, the inner mechanism accounting for this association has still not been clarified in research. Our purpose in this study was to examine the relationships between parent–adolescent communication, adolescent smoking behavior, and depression, as well as gender differences in the relationship between depression and adolescent smoking behavior. Participants were 1,134 students at 6 junior high schools in China who completed the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale, the Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Smoking Behavior Test. Results showed that parent-adolescent communication had a significant negative effect on adolescent smoking behavior and depression partially mediated the relationship between parent–adolescent communication and adolescent smoking behavior. In addition, gender moderated the relationship between depression and adolescent smoking behavior. Overall, these findings may help to promote better understanding of the relationship between parent–adolescent communication and adolescent smoking behavior.

The instrument of this research used questionnaires, observation sheets, pretest and posttest questionnaires, and media flyers. Analysis of research data using a comparative test, namely Paired sample t-test, and Independent t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in respondents' knowledge about the dangers of smoking in the intervention group, while in the control group it was found that there was no significant difference in respondents' knowledge; there was a significant difference in the frequency of adolescent smoking in the intervention group and the control group; there is a significant difference in adolescent smoking attitudes in the intervention group and the control group; there was a significant difference in motivation to quit smoking in the intervention group and the control group.

Abstract Introduction: This study explored the association between unsupervised time with peers and adolescent smoking behavior both directly and indirectly through interaction with delinquent peers, social expectancies about cigarette smoking, and cigarette offers from peers. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used for the study and included 248 male and female middle school students. Results: Results of structural equation modeling revealed that unsupervised time with peers is associated indirectly with adolescent smoking behavior through the mediation of association with delinquent peers, social expectancies about cigarette smoking, and cigarette offers from peers. Discussion: Interventions designed to motivate adolescents without adult supervision to associate more with friends who engage in prosocial activities may eventually reduce adolescent smoking. Further implications for structured supervised time for students outside of school time are discussed.

This study aimed to know the association and risk levels of household other members and adolescent smoking behaviors in Indonesia. As confounding variables of study involving Alcohol Consumption Behavior, Lived Area, and Social-Economics Status Variables. A study hypothesis declared that there was a signifi cant correlation between smoking behavior of household other members as a smoker with the smoking behavior of 15 to 18 years old after being controlled by other variables. Furthermore, this study using a Basic Health Research Secondary Data of 2018 aged 15 until 18 years and a multivariable analyzed uses logistic regression. The results showed a signifi cant correlation (p-value 0,000) between Household Other Members as a Smoker with smoking behavior of 15 to 18 years old after being controlled by confounding variables with OR 1,449 (95% CI 1,346-1,56-0). Smoker Variable not as a Head of Household was signifi cantly correlated (p-value 0,007) with OR 2,002 (95% CI 1,211-3,377), Alcohol Consumption Behavior was signifi cantly correlated (P-value 0,000) with OR 20,602 (95% CI 17,611-24,101), Lived Area with OR 1,129 (95% CI 1,051-1,212), also Social Economic Status with OR 1,098 (95%CI 1,024-1,178). An Alcohol Consumption Behavior Variable was the most dominant variable in determining Adolescent Smoking Behavior. We should focalize on areas identity is driven by health service providers, stakeholders, and policymakers. Accordingly, formulate awareness programs and education, particularly adolescents, to eliminate smoking initiation.  Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dan besaran risiko perilaku merokok anggota rumah tangga lain dengan perilaku merokok remaja berusia 15 sampai dengan 18 tahun di Indonesia. Variable perancu pada penelitian ini meliputi perilaku konsumsi alkohol, wilayah tempat tinggal, serta status sosial ekonomi responden. Hipotesis penelitian ini adalah ada hubungan yang bermakna antara perilaku merokok anggota rumah tangga lain sebagai perokok, dengan perilaku merokok remaja usia 15 sampai dengan 18 tahun setelah dikontrol oleh variabel lain. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) tahun 2018 dengan rentang usia 15-18 tahun dan data di analisis secara multivariabel menggunakan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna (p value 0,000) antara anggota rumah tangga lain sebagai perokok dengan dengan perilaku merokok pada remaja usia 15 sampai dengan 18 tahun setelah dikontrol oleh variabel perancu dengan OR 1,449 (95% CI 1,346-1,56-0). Variabel perokok bukan sebagai kepala rumah tangga berhubungan bermakna (p value 0,007) dengan OR 2,002 (95% CI 1,2113,377), perilaku minum alkohol berhubungan bermakna (p value 0,000) dengan OR 20,602 (95% CI 17,611-24,101), wilayah tempat tinggal responden dengan OR 1,129 (95% CI 1,051-1,212), serta status sosial ekonomi dengan OR 1,098 (95%CI 1,024-1,178). Variabel perilaku minum alkohol adalah variabel yang paling besar pengaruhnya terhadap perilaku merokok pada remaja. Perlu fokus identifi kasi area oleh penyedia layanan kesehatan serta para stake holder pembuat kebijakan dalam merumuskan program kesadaran dan pendidikan khususnya pada remaja untuk eliminasi inisiasi merokok.
