Antecedents of Smoking among Pre-Adolescents.
Garvin, Joan
Journal of Drug Education, v12 n4 p325-40 1982
Fifth- and sixth-grade students (N=600) were assessed regarding smoking activity, parents' smoking, four dimensions of self-esteem, and attitudes toward school. Multivariate analyses showed students were more likely to begin smoking if they had parents who smoked, had low self-esteem, and disliked school and feared failure. (Author)
