| Award/Grant Description |
Reducing rates of smoking initiation could lead to positive impacts on health. The present research builds upon an existing large, cohort study of adolescents and smoking initiation that was partly funded by ESRC (R000223219: Testing a social psychological tool to prevent smoking initiation in adolescents). A sample of approximately 1600 adolescents have been surveyed a total of seven times over a period of two years between the ages of 11/12 and 13/14 years. A variety of measures of thoughts and feelings in relation to smoking including components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour have been collected. The present research would extend the research by collecting data on smoking initiation two years later again when the sample will be aged 15/16 years. This is a time when smoking initiation rates reach their peak. The analyses will focus on the extent to which thoughts and feelings in relation to smoking predict smoking initiation over periods as long as 4 years. These findings could usefully inform interventions designed to target smoking initiation in adolescents
