A Study on the Factors Influencing Smoking in Multicultural Youths in Korea

Based on the ecological integration model, this study examined the factors affecting smoking in adolescents from multicultural families by dividing them into two levels: microsystem and social network factors. The data were from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (KYRBS) from 2016 to 202...

description Based on the ecological integration model, this study examined the factors affecting smoking in adolescents from multicultural families by dividing them into two levels: microsystem and social network factors. The data were from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (KYRBS) from 2016 to 2020. It included 4577 respondents whose fathers, mothers, or both, were not born in Korea. The factors affecting smoking among multicultural teenagers were determined by a composite-sample multiple logistic regression analysis. Male smoking rates among multicultural adolescents were 2.49 times higher than female rates in the microsystem. When the father was “Korean” rather than a “Foreigner”, smoking was 0.55 times lower in family factors in terms of social network. In social factors of social networks, multicultural adolescents’ smoking was 12.02 times greater when they were drinking than when they were not, and 3.62 times higher when the answer to the question of whether they had experienced violence was “yes” than “no.” Based on the ecological model in this study, social factors such as drinking, and violence were highly related to smoking. Since multicultural adolescents were closely influenced by the surrounding environment, such as family, school, and social relationship, it was necessary to let parents and schoolteachers be involved in the intervention of smoking of multicultural adolescents so that they can help multicultural adolescents adjust better to school and perform better academically while decreasing risky behaviors for their health, such as drinking and, ultimately, smoking.
