Multivariate Associations Between SML Scale and Smoking Outcomes

Current smokera
 Susceptibility to smokeb (never-smokers only)
SML scale OR (95% CI) p Value OR (95% CI) p Value
Model 1 0.83 (0.73–0.95) .007 0.79 (0.65–0.97) .024
Model 2 0.84 (0.72–0.97) .015 0.79 (0.64–0.97) .025
Model 3 0.81 (0.67–0.97) .025 0.73 (0.58–0.92) .007

Note. Generalized estimating equation models accounting for clustering by school of attendance. Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, parent's education level, parent's employment status, two parents household. Model 3: model 2 + parental smoking, friends smoking, depressive symptoms, thrill seeking orientation, alcohol use in the past week, work during class period, religion, and ever repeated a grade. OR = odds ratio; SML = smoking media literacy.

a

Odds of being a current smoker (vs. non- and ex-smokers) for those who responded to survey items in a way that denotes high media literacy (OR = 1 for students with low media literacy).

b

Odds of being susceptible to smoke for those who responded to survey items in a way that denotes high media literacy (OR = 1 for students with low media literacy).
