详细描述
Participants (thereafter named Smoke-free Teens) Youth between Form 1 and 4 or aged 14 to 18 will be nominated by secondary schools, youth centres and uniform groups to participate in the Smoke-free Teens Programme .
Outcomes The primary outcomes include the change in (1) knowledge on smoking hazards, (2) attitudes towards smoking, tobacco control and smoking cessation, (3) practices for promoting smoking prevention and cessation, and (4) the Smoke-free Teens' satisfaction on the training camp.
The secondary outcomes are (1) the number of people participated in the school- or community-based smoke-free programmes organised by the Smoke-free Teens, and (2) the number of smokers advised and referred to existing smoking cessation services by the Smoke-free Teens.
The Smoke-free teens will join a "2-Day-1-Night" training camp organized by the Hong Kong Council of Smoking and Health(COSH) in July or August . The camp will cover a wide range of indoor, outdoor, adventure-based, experiential learning activities. Besides, the teens will be equipped with the knowledge on smoking hazards, tobacco control and smoking cessation. In addition, the teens will be taught how to deliver a brief smoking cessation intervention using the "AWARD" Model: 1) Ask about smoking, 2) Warn the smokers that at least half will be killed by smoking, 3) Advise to quit (reduce) as soon as possible, 4) Refer to cessation clinics or hotlines, and 5) Do it again until the smokers quit. By the end of the training camp, the teens should be confident and competent in delivering the brief smoking cessation intervention to smokers. After the training camp, the teens will then break down into groups to organize smoke-free programmes in their schools or in the community.
Survey instrument A structured questionnaire designed by the smoking cessation team, School of Nursing, the University of Hong Kong will be used to evaluate the training camp. The questionnaire covers four areas, including (1) knowledge on smoking hazards, (2) attitudes towards smoking, tobacco control and smoking cessation, (3) practices for promoting smoking prevention and cessation, and (4) self-efficacy to deliver smoking cessation advices. The items of the questionnaire have been adopted and modified from previous studies on smoking cessation, with well-established psychometric properties. A process evaluation form will also be developed by the smoking cessation team to assess how the teens satisfy with the training camp, and to determine whether the content of the training camp meets the learning needs and expectations of the teens.
