The Relationship of Cognitive and Behavioral Skills to Adolescent Tobacco Smoking.
Gilchrist, Lewayne D.; And Others
Journal of School Health, v55 n4 p132-34 Apr 1985
A study examined an assumption commonly held by many smoking prevention programs that social skills can affect the onset of tobacco smoking. Data from 129 sixth graders were used to predict smoking behavior 15 months later. Five skill variables emerged as the best predictors of future smoking. (Author/CB)
