520 $a Problem. The problem of this study was to examine the patterns of cigarette smoking practices and their relationships with knowledge and attitudes among adolescents in the R.O.C.
520 $a Procedures. To achieve the purpose of this study, cross-sectional design using a questionnaire was adopted. Smoking scales developed by Pederson were modified and validated for this study. The battery consisted of knowledge, attitude, and behavior subscales. The study sample consisted of 3,004 first-year junior high school students selected from different areas of this country. Univariate analyses (Chi-square test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test) and multivariate analysis (discriminant analysis) were used to analyze the data and test the related hypotheses.
520 $a Findings. All 3,004 subjects completed the questionnaires. Prior to testing the hypotheses, evidence of reliability and validity of the battery were derived and found to be satisfactory. There were 372 (12.4%) current-smokers and 503 (16.7%) ex-smokers in the sample. More males (15.9%) than females (5.6%) were likely to try smoking. Most of the smokers were experimenters and they had a very short smoking history. Variables, such as smoking-related attitudes and knowledge, friends' and teachers' smoking rates, parental education and smoking practices, subjects' educational goals, school performance, and smoking intention, had significant association with subjects' smoking practices. However, only attitudes, smoking intention, friends' smoking practices, and educational goals made a significant and substantial contribution to the discrimination of smokers from non-smokers when all variables were considered concomitantly.
520 $a Conclusions. Cigarette smoking is prevalent among Chinese (R.O.C.) adolescents, especially males. A smoker is likely to have favorable attitudes toward cigarette smoking, to continue smoking in the future, to associate with smokers, and to have low educational goals.
