Improving Smoking Prevention Programs

&
Pages 67-78 | Published online: 18 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

Recent research has yielded promising strategies for large; scale smoking prevention. Programs that help adolescents resist peer pressure to smoke have reduced experimentation with cigarettes among middle-class white youths. Other groups are more resistant to current prevention approaches. This article reviews past prevention strategies and the need for broader prevention efforts to meet the needs of high-risk youths. A self-control skills model is discussed as the foundation for a generalized social competency approach for future smoking prevention programs for adolescents.
