Smoking Education Program

From the Paper:

Abstract
" The purpose of the present study was to determine the extent to which a health education program, aimed at preventing teen smoking effectively addressed the issue of peer and family pressure in the adoption of smoking by adolescents. Using the SPQ, designed for the study, two instructional programs were compared with a control group of subjects receiving no prevention training. The results of the study showed significant differences among the groups. Pre and post test scores indicated significant gains in pressure avoidance skills for both prevention training groups but not for the control group. The benefits of the types of programs studied here and the implications for prevention of smoking in adolescents were discussed."
