The Association Between Smoking and Unhealthy Behaviors Among a National Sample of Mexican-American Adolescents.
Pesa, Jacqueline A.
Journal of School Health, v68 n9 p376-80 Nov 1998
Examined the relationship between smoking and participation in unhealthy behaviors among Mexican-American adolescents. Analysis of data from the 1993 Teenage Attitudes and Practices Survey indicated that Mexican-American adolescents who smoke may be at higher risk for engaging in behaviors that could compromise their health and safety and for not participating in activities that could exert a protective influence.
