INTRODUCTION: Smoking tobacco has been a longstanding issue worldwide, but the trend of smoking electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is now on the rise. Many people assume that smoking e-cigarette is safer and less harmful than conventional cigarette smoking, which is worrying. Adolescents and young adults are easily influenced by advertisements on e-cigarette. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice on e-cigarette among university students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaire was carried out among 484 university students in a public university in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. RESULTS: Respondents were between 19- 25 year-old undergraduates, with the majority being female. 6.6% of the respondents were smokers, with nine having tried e-cigarette, where only one is a regular user. Bivariate analysis was carried out to analyse knowledge, attitude and practice scores on e-cigarette. There was significant association between gender with attitude and practice scores (p<0.001) on e-cigarettes, household income with attitude and practice scores (p=0.013 and p=0.001 respectively) on e-cigarette, as well as smoking status (p><0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that being female and non-smoker were associated with higher attitude and practice scores on e-cigarette. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the knowledge, attitude and practice on e-cigarette needs to be improved among young adults and a more holistic intervention strategy should be implemented to prevent the rise of e-cigarette smoking. ><0.001) on e-cigarettes, household income with attitude and practice scores (p=0.013 and p=0.001 respectively) on e-cigarette, as well as smoking status (p<0.001).

Background: Young students can play a fundamental role in blood donation to save lives of many people. Therefore, studying factors contributing to their knowledge, attitude and practice of blood donation is essential.Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude of Basrah University students about blood donation.Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study involved students of two colleges in Basrah University. It was carried out during the period from January to April 2017. A non-probability purposive sampling method was used in selecting the participants for this study. Information on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge and attitude towards blood donation were collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire.Results: A total of 422 students were targeted, of these 393 (93.1%) completed the questionnaire.Only 51 (13%) of total respondents had a history of blood donation, of those 64.7% donated only once. The most mentioned reasons behind not donating were; not being asked to donate (24.6%), inconsideration of donation (11.1%), and fear of drawing blood (8.8%). Adequate knowledge was detected in 66.7% and positive attitude in 68.7%. Students of College of Medicine were younger, more knowledgeable, and donate more than those of College of Administration and Economics.Conclusion: A substantial number of the university students had inadequate blood donation knowledge. Education programs and motivational campaigns should be enhanced.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(6) 2018 62-67
