^*Those with smoking intentions scores equal to 6 at study baseline.

^†Those with smoking intentions scores above 6 at study baseline.

^‡P values are from a test of the association between patient characteristic and intentions group. χ² or exact χ² tests were used. For testing, “Don't know” (peer and parent use) and “pilot” (intervention group) categories were ignored.

^§Data provided only on the non-pilot cohort of 80 nonsmokers.
