Tiivistelmä
The present study examined whether parental involvement in their adolescents' lives is associated with adolescent smoking in a vocational school setting when controlling for socioeconomic background and parental smoking. The study was conducted in spring 2013 and involved 34 776 Finnish vocational school students (mean age 17.6 years). The data were analyzed using multinomial regression. The results showed that lower parental involvement was significantly associated with adolescent daily smoking in both genders and with occasional smoking in girls. Parental daily smoking predicted adolescent daily smoking, and this association was also seen for those adolescents whose mother and father had quitted smoking. Furthermore, our results indicate that mothers' smoking may be more influential on adolescents' smoking than fathers' smoking. Multivariate analysis showed that living in a nuclear family or alternately with both parents in two homes decreased daily smoking in both genders compared to living in other family arrangements.
