Abstract (English): Objectives. To evaluate the prevalence of smoking among Argentine adolescents and describe its usage, factors related to taking up the habit, and exposure to secondhand smoke in the home. Methods. A cross-sectional study conducted through an anonymous survey of students 12-18 years of age in either the 8th grade of basic education or in the second course of high school or polytechnic school. The study took place in 2002 at 239 school within five urban centers of Argentina (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Partidos del Gran Buenos Aires, Gran Córdoba, Gran Mendoza, and Santa Fe). The random sample was stratified by socioeconomic level and rates were calculated according to an expanded sample composed of samplings from each stage. Results. The survey was completed by 11 734 students (50.5% males; 44.1% were 12-14 years of age and 56.7% were 15-18 years). In all, 30.0% of the males and 35.0% of the females were smokers at the time of the survey (22.5% in the 12-14 year age group and 40.1% in the 15-18 group). The main reason given for taking up smoking was "to see what it was like" (43.7%); 44.3% of the students who smoked did so when they felt anxious. In all, 64.5% claimed they wanted to stop and 72.5% had attempted to quit, although fewer than 8% of the smokers had gotten any professional help to do so. The overwhelming majority considered it unhealthy to smoke tobacco (93.5%) and be around second-hand smoke (89.6%). Only 30.4% felt they had not received enough information on detrimental effects of smoking. More than 70% of the adolescents were living with a smoker. Conclusions. There is a high rate of smoking among Argentine students, especially females. Policies must be established that will prevent smoking initiation in secondary school. Recommendations are to prohibit tobacco-product advertising and to require stronger health warnings labels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Objetivos. Evaluar la prevalencia de tabaquismo en adolescentes argentinos y caracterizar el consumo, los factores relacionados con el inicio de este hábito y la exposición al tabaquismo pasivo en el hogar. Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal mediante una encuesta anónima a estudiantes de 12- 18 años de 8.° grado de la educación básica y 2.° curso de la enseñanza superior o polimodal. El estudio se realizó en 2002 en 239 escuelas de cinco urbes argentinas (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Partidos del Gran Buenos Aires, Gran Córdoba, Gran Mendoza y Santa Fe). La muestra aleatoria se estratificó según el nivel socioeconómico y las proporciones se calcularon a partir de la muestra expandida derivada de las fracciones de muestreo de cada etapa. Resultados. Respondieron las encuestas 11 734 alumnos (50,5% varones; 44,1% de 12-14 años y 56,7% de 15-18 años). En general, 30,0% de los varones y 35,0% de las mujeres eran fumadores al momento de la encuesta (22,5% en el grupo de 12-14 años y 40,1% en el de 15- 18 años). La principal razón alegada para comenzar a fumar fue "para probar" (43,7%); 44,3% de los estudiantes que fumaban lo hacía cuando estaban ansiosos. En total, 64,5% manifestó querer dejar de fumar y 72,5% de los fumadores intentó dejarlo, aunque menos de 8% de los fumadores había recibido ayuda profesional para ello. La inmensa mayoría consideró como no saludable el consumo de tabaco (93,5%) y el humo del tabaco ajeno (89,6%). Solo 30,4% refirió no haber recibido información adecuada sobre el daño que provoca el tabaquismo. Más de 70% de los adolescentes convivía con un fumador. Conclusiones. Existe una alta prevalencia de tabaquismo en los estudiantes argentinos, especialmente en las mujeres. Se deben establecer políticas destinadas a prevenir el inicio del consumo en la educación secundaria. Se recomienda prohibir la publicidad de los productos de tabaco y colocar advertencias sanitarias más fuertes y eficaces en sus empaques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
