Brian S. Flynn,John K. Worden,Roger H. Secker-Walker,Phyllis L. Pirie,Gary J. Badger,Joseph H. Carpenter,Berta M. Geller +6 more
TL;DR: Students exposed to the media-plus-school interventions were found to be at lower risk for weekly smoking than those receiving school interventions only, indicating that the effects of the combined interventions persisted 2 years after the interventions' completion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Mass Media to Prevent Cigarette Smoking Among Adolescent Girls
John K. Worden,Brian S. Flynn,Laura J. Solomon,Roger H. Secker-Walker,Gary J. Badger,Joseph H. Carpenter +5 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Community interventions for reducing smoking among adults
TL;DR: The failure of the largest and best conducted studies to detect an effect on prevalence of smoking is disappointing, and designers of future programmes will need to take account of this limited effect in determining the scale of projects and the resources devoted to them.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Reduced fetal growth was detected that selectively affected abdominal circumference and peripheral muscle mass while not affecting head circumference and femur length in fetuses of smoking mothers, suggesting that cigarette smoking appears to have a selective effect within lean body mass compartments.
