a

Shown are odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals estimated from regressions; significant results are set in bold.

b

Adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, whether live with both parents, parents’ education level, and intervention condition.

c

Adjusted for all covariates in (b) and sensation-seeking.

d

FF1 was valued as “true” if a subject self reported that “the others in society think it is ‘okay’ for adults to smoke, but it is not at all ‘okay’ for people his/her age to smoke”. FF2 was “true” when an FF1 “true” subject also reported that “he/she thinks it is ‘okay’ for people his/her age to smoke”.

e

For longitudinal models, a propensity score was added as a covariate to adjust for the potential bias induced by nonrandom attrition at follow-up.

f

There were two longitudinal bidirectional prediction model sets; Set #1 predicted 30-day smoking and smoking intention from FF1 and FF2 either controlling or not controlling for sensation-seeking, and Set #2 predicted FF1 and FF2 from 30-day smoking and smoking intention either controlling or not controlling for sensation-seeking.
