| dc.description.abstract | This paper attempts to understand the smoking decision of young Filipino adults. Using data from the 2002 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study, the authors try to find out how personal, family, and religious practices affect the young Filipino adult's perceptions of the risks involved in smoking. The authors borrow from Viscusi's Risk-Perception Theory for the framework of this study. In the theory, risk perceptions determine the individual's decision whether to engage in smoking or not. Of the variables deemed significant in the formation of risk assessments, education appears to be significant in making an individual not likely to smoke. Much more, educational motivations do affect an individual's decision-making. Lastly, the family, particularly the family religious practices and their involvement in risk or problem behaviors (such as drinking and smoking), has a significant effect on young Filipino adult's smoking decisions. | |
