详细描述
Participants Youth between Form 1 and 4 or aged 14 to 18 in the school academic year 2019-2020 will be nominated by secondary schools, youth centres and uniform groups to participate in the Smoke-free Teens Programme 2020-2021.
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.
Smoke-free Teens Programme The Smoke-free teens will join six sessions of online classes via an e-platform in October 2020 and followed by virtual training day camps through Zoom in two days in December 2020 organized by Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health (COSH). The online classes will educate students 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 online classes, 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 (Appendix 4) will also be developed by the smoking cessation team to assess how the teens satisfy with the online classes and training camp, and to determine whether the content of online classes and training camp meets the learning needs and expectations of the teens. Table 1 shows the items that will be asked at each time point.
