Mexican American Tobacco Use in Children (MATCh)
The MATCh study aimed to develop a better understanding of the escalation of cigarette smoking in the United States of America for the purpose of cancer prevention and overall health. The study recruited over 1,300 Mexican American adolescents aged between 11 and 13 years in 2005 and 2006. At baseline, participants provided demographic, acculturation, and psychosocial data and reported their smoking status using the Minnesota Smoking Index. Just over 1,000 participants (75%) took part in the follow-up survey in 2010 and 2011.
