Using data from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS), this study investigated associations between smoking and a number of school, peer, and family characteristics among off-reserve First Nations (n = 2,308), Métis (n = 2,058), and Inuit (n = 655) high school students aged 12 to 21 years. Logistic regressions revealed important group differences in Indigenous youths' correlates of smoking. Characteristics that were negatively associated with smoking included attending a school with a positive environment or having peers with high educational aspirations among First Nations students; participating in school-based club extra-curricular activities or living in a smoke-free home among Métis; and living in higher-income families among Inuit. A consistent risk factor for smoking among all Indigenous students was having close friends who engaged in risk behaviours.

在保留区原住民，梅蒂斯和因纽特人的高中学生中吸烟

使用2012年土著居民调查（APS）的数据，本研究调查了吸烟与储备不足的原住民（n = 2,308），梅蒂斯（n = 2,058）和因纽特人之间的一些学校，同伴和家庭特征之间的关联（n = 655）12至21岁的高中学生。Logistic回归显示，土著青年的吸烟相关性存在重要的群体差异。与吸烟负相关的特征包括在环境良好的学校上学或在原住民学生中有同等学历的人；在梅蒂斯人中参加以学校为基础的俱乐部的课外活动或在无烟家庭中生活；并住在因纽特人中的高收入家庭。
