Abstract | SIGNIFICANCE: Family has important influences on adolescent smoking but
no study has ever reported the association between quality of inter-parental relationship
and adolescent smoking. We tested the association between adolescent
smoking behaviours and perceived inter-parental relationship in Hong Kong.
METHODS: During 2012-13, a representative school-based, cross-sectional sample
of 45,857 secondary 1-6 (US grade 7-12) students in Hong Kong (boys 51.4%,
mean age 14.6) rated inter-parental relationship as worse (fair/bad/very bad)
versus good/very good (reference) and reported smoking behaviours. Data were
weighted by sex, age and grade distributions of Hong Kong secondary students
in 2012/13. Logistic and linear regression yielded adjusted odds ratios (AORs)
of ever smoking, current smoking (smoked at least once in the past 30 days),
morning smoking urge and intention to quit; and beta-coefficient (β) of daily cigarette
consumption in relation to perceived inter-parental relationship, adjusting for
sex, age, perceived family affluence, parental smoking, peer smoking and school
clustering effects. RESULTS: In all students, 15.0% and 3.3% reported ever and
current smoking, while 30.7% reported worse inter-parental relationship. Students
reporting worse (vs good/very good) inter-parental relationship were more likely to
be ever smokers (21.7% vs 10.7%; AOR 1.78, 95% CI 1.59 to 1.97), and current
smokers (5.2% vs 2.0%; AOR 1.79, 95% CI 1.48 to 2.16). In current smokers,
worse perceived inter-parental relationship was significantly associated with morning
smoking urge (AOR 1.55, 95% CI 1.17 to 2.06) but neither with intention to quit
(AOR 1.07, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.44) nor daily cigarette consumption (adjusted β -0.34,
95% CI -0.89 to 0.22). CONCLUSIONS: We found the first evidence that worse
perceived inter-parental relationship in adolescents was associated with cigarette
smoking. The findings suggest that family-based preventive measures strengthening
inter-parental relationship and family wellbeing may be useful in preventing
adolescent smoking. |
