title: Parental socialization of smoking initiation in Latino youth.
abstract: The relationship between parental socialization strategies and child smoking behavior was examined among 170 Latino parents and 85 index children. Maternal support was negatively associated with child smoking whereas siblings' and friends' smoking were positively associated. Studies with larger samples of Latino families are needed to replicate these findings.
