ABSTRACT
To identify factors associated with susceptibility,
tobacco use and addiction in young people from 13 to
15 years of age, to determine conditions of risk and identify
possible correlates to the development of public policies on
smoking in Costa Rica. Materials and methods. Information
available from the four rounds of the Global Youth
Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Costa Rica was used. It was based
on a sample size of 11 540 youngsters from public and private
schools. Indicators of interest and logistic regression models
for smoking, susceptibility and addiction were estimated.
Results. The prevalence of current consumption shows a
significant decrease over the 14 years of the study (17.3% in
1999 and 5.0% in 2013) and, to a lesser intensity, in the index
of smoking susceptibility (19.3% in 1999 and 12.4% in 2013).
The proportion of young people with addiction has shown a
significant increase in the same period. Conclusions. The
conditions that explained the significant reduction in smoking
prevalence and less susceptibility must be maintained and
deepened to achieve full compliance of the MPower measures.
