Abstract
This study utilizes a large sample of 8th, 10th, and 12th-grade youth in Arizona (n = 34,373). Five cycles of this biannual survey were used to examine the longitudinal trends. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to identify the key risk factors for past 30-day and lifetime cigarette use. Across all survey cycles, peers played a consistently significant role in smoking behaviors. Those youth with drug-free friends and friends who disapproved of substance use were less likely to engage in smoking behaviors. Further, various community, school, and familial factors were predictive of smoking behavior, though less consistently than peer-level determinants. This study demonstrates that peers consistently play a critical role in cigarette smoking behavior. As such, interventions and future research need to examine further how prosocial peers can be leveraged to reduce smoking behaviors and the associated health outcomes.

Manuscripts involving qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods are welcome to be submitted, as are papers grounded in one or more theoretical orientations, or those that are not based on any formal theory. CASW values different disciplines and interdisciplinary work that informs social work practice and policy. Authors from public health, nursing, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines are encouraged to submit manuscripts. All manuscripts should include specific implications for social work policy and practice with children and adolescents. Appropriate fields of practice include interpersonal practice, small groups, families, organizations, communities, policy practice, nationally-oriented work, and international studies. Authors considering publication in CASW should review the following editorial: Schelbe, L., & Thyer, B. A. (2019). Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal Editorial Policy: Guidelines for Authors.
