Every year thousands of adolescents and teenagers join the ranks of smokers. Preventing the initiation of smoking in young adolescents is a worthwhile goal. Knowledge of national trends in smoking behavior of adolescents is necessary in order to design programs that are targeted for the adolescent market. Programs that stress social skills and designed to increase self-esteem in the adolescent have had the best success rate in the prevention of smoking. This study will examine autonomy, using an autonomy scale designed to measure self-help and self-determination in conflict resolution.
