Family cigarette smoking and test performance by adolescents.
This research considers test performance by adolescents as a correlate of cigarette smoking by their families. Scores obtained by adolescents on the California Achievement Test decreased as the amount of cigarette smoking by other members of their families increased. The relationship was not accounted for by active cigarette smoking of the adolescent or by 20 other social and psychological variables.
