Objectives: To examine the feasibility of using a composite index of smoking behaviors to analyze adolescent smoking. Methods: A secondary analysis of data from 10 annual surveys (1991-2000), from 566,467 Indiana students in grades 6 through 12. A composite index was calculated,
and differences between index scores were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc tests, and 2-way moving averages. Results: Index scores increased before 1997 and decreased after 1976, with greater change among 7th through 10th graders. Conclusion:
The 2-way moving average comparison of a composite index, used with prevalence-based trend analyses, provides a more complete picture of changes in adolescent cigarette smoking.",
