THIS PAPER critically assesses the most popular methodological approach used to obtain data on the prevalence of smoking amongst children and adoles ments. It suggests that questionnaires are unlikely to enlarge further the body of knowledge on this topic and that an alternative approach, interviewing, is needed to improve our understanding of the problem. A diversity of research approaches should inform more successful preventive interventions.
