TL;DR
It is suggested that tobacco and alcohol prevention efforts for first-generation Hispanic adolescents should target not only usual concerns, e.g., availability, peer pressure, modeling, expectancies, but also parent-child communication.
Abstract
Based on these results it is suggested that tobacco and alcohol prevention efforts for first-generation Hispanic adolescents should target not only usual concerns (e.g., availability, peer pressure, modeling, expectancies), but also parent-child communication.
