Brief summary
The overall goal of this study is to identify and understand the environmental characteristics associated with tobacco use and tobacco initiation among Asian American youth from primarily two communities: Chinese and Vietnamese. The specific aims of this study are twofold: * To estimate the prevalence of smoking among Chinese and Vietnamese youth in the Houston area compared with non-Asian American communities. * To study the relationship between environmental characteristics (both pro- and anti-tobacco) and tobacco initiation and use among Chinese and Vietnamese youth. * To explore if degree of acculturation is related to tobacco initiation and use among Chinese and Vietnamese youth.
