Article Title: Preventing adolescent tobacco use and assisting young people to quit: population-, community-, and individually focused evidence-based interventions.
Abstract: Tobacco use among adolescents is declining in the United States but remains a major public health problem in the United States and globally. The Healthy People 2020 model of determinants of health is useful in understanding the complex interaction of factors that help explain adolescent smoking-related behaviors. Nurses are well positioned to take leadership roles in health care settings, schools, and their own communities as well as at the state, national, and global levels in advocating for policies that prevent and treat adolescent tobacco use and the subsequent burden of disease in future populations.
