Data from: Why do youths initiate to smoke? A data mining analysis on tobacco advertising, peer, and family factors for Indonesian youths

Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), Indonesia showed that 60,9 % of
students noticed cigarette advertisements or promotions in outdoor media.
Our study aimed to understand the impact of outdoor tobacco advertising
and peer and family association with Youth's smoking behavior. This
study deployed a cross-sectional approach to explore factors related to
youth smoking behavior, such as peers, family, and tobacco advertising.
The GYTS questionnaire was adapted as the instrument and distributed to
400 students from 20 high schools to observe smoking behavior. The chosen
schools based on the previous study whose classify school in hot-spot and
non-hot-spot areas. This study applied a data mining approach with a
decision tree to generate the models. This study generates a decision tree
model that describes the peer factor as the key to introducing Youth to
smoking. The model also reveals that youth in the non-hotspot advertising
area are not likely to develop Youth to smoke. The model has a performance
classification of 77.5 % This study found that youth with smoking fathers
are more likely to start smoking earlier, youth whose both parents are
smokers, and mothers who are smokers have a confidence level of 100 % to
smoke. Further research is warranted to investigate rural districts to
explore any regional and socioeconomic variations.
