title: Family influences, acculturation, and the prevalence of tobacco smoking among Asian youth in New Zealand: findings from a national survey.
abstract: The associations among family factors, acculturation, and the risk of regular smoking among Asian youth were investigated in a nationally representative survey in New Zealand. The strong relationships between protective family factors and lower risks of smoking were not attenuated in the presence of indicators suggestive of acculturation.
