Nowadays, the smoking rate among adolescents in Vietnam is still high regardless of many regulations have been implemented. One of the predictors for smoking behaviour in adolescents is smoking susceptibility. This study aimed to describe the rate of students smoking susceptibility and some associated factors. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess students from 14 randomly selected high schools in five districts in Hanoi. The questionnaire was developed based on “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System” (YRBSS) tool. Results: There were 3272 students completed the survey. 4.9% (95% CI: 4.2 – 5.8%) of the students were susceptible to smoking. In the urban areas, this rate was 7.7% and in the suburban areas was 3.4%. While being male (OR=2.79, 95% CI: 2.29 – 3.41), being 16-17 years old (OR=1.25, 95% CI: 1.01 – 1.56), studying in urban areas (OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.15 – 1.74) and seeing other people smoke, including family members (OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.14 – 1.70), teachers (OR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.23 – 2.63), friends (OR=2.33, 95% CI: 1.88 – 2.89), and school staffs (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.17 – 2.26) smoking was associated to susceptibility to smoking behavior, attending anti-tobacco course (OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.06 – 1.62) or seeing anti-tobacco messages (OR=1,28, 95% CI: 1,005 – 1,63) reduced the likelihood of smoking susceptibility. Conclusion: Thus, it is necessary to initiate anti-tobacco intervention programs and implement more extreme regulations to reduce susceptibility to smoking rates in adolescents and diminish smoking prevalence in adolescents.

Baseline Information

The rate of adolescents smoking has become a public health concern Worldwide and Vietnam. Determining associated factors are significantly important since the early smoking has increased dramatically. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on students (adolescents) of 15 high-schools from 5 districts in Hanoi using Youth Risks Behavioral Surveillance System (YRBSS). Results showed that male had a higher rate of smoking than female (21.1% compared to 7.1%), students in Continuing Education Centers (24.5%) had a higher rate of smoking than students form community high-schools (10.5%) and private high-schools (16.0%). The adolescents’ first cigarette smoking was soon (13-14 years old) (25%). The associated factors included being male students (OR: 2.653; 95%CI: 1.880 – 3.731) and seeing others’ smoking (OR: 2.063; 95%CI: 1.480 – 2.875) and average academic achievement (OR: 1.761, 95%CI: 1.012 – 3.058). The results can be a baseline information to determine factors associating to smoking behavior in order to initiate high quality anti-smoking intervention strategies.

ObjectiveThe identification of susceptible non-smoking adolescents is an essential step in reducing smoking initiation among adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and factors associated with smoking susceptibility among non-smoking school-going adolescents in Malaysia.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingPrimary and secondary schools in Malaysia.Participants11 246 non-smoking school-going adolescents.Outcome measuresThe prevalence and factors associated with smoking susceptibility among non-smoking school-going adolescents in Malaysia.ResultsApproximately 14% of non-smokers were susceptible to smoking, and the prevalence of susceptibility was significantly higher among males, ever-smokers and e-cigarette users. The odds of susceptibility to smoking were higher among males, e-cigarette users, those aged 12 years and under and those who had ever smoked or tried cigarettes. Students from schools with educational programmes on the health effects of second-hand smoke (SHS) and who perceived smoking to be harmful were less likely to be susceptible to smoking.ConclusionSmoking susceptibility is prevalent among school-going adolescents. A comprehensive approach that enhances or reinforces health education programmes on the adverse health effects of smoking and SHS among school children, that considers multiple factors and that involves all stakeholders is urgently needed to reduce the prevalence of smoking susceptibility among vulnerable subgroups, as identified from the present findings.

Background: There is a higher prevalence of mental distress in rural areas compared to urban areas in Indonesia. The rural areas of Indonesia have various socio-demographic and sophisticated cultural characteristics, but less exposed to foreign cultures. Thus, the study about the prevalence, associated factors, and predictors of mental distress in rural areas is necessary.Purpose: This study aimed to identify the population's status and related factors of mental distress in rural areas in Indonesia.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to achieve the aims of the study. An Indonesian version of the Self-Rated Questionnaire, consisting of 20 items, was used to measure mental distress status of population in rural areas in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A number of 872 records were included and analyzed using both univariate and bivariate analyses in this study.Results: The prevalence of mental distress in this population was 6%. The correlated factors of mental distress were age (χ2=6.93, p=0.01), gender (χ2=0.07, p=0.03), occupation (χ2=0.26, p=0.02), housing dimension (χ2=5.45, p=0.02), and illness status (χ2=0.01, p<0.01).Conclusion: The prevalence of mental distress in rural areas of Indonesia is relatively lower than that of the national level.

Tobacco Epidemic

Abstract Background and aims Adolescence is a period of physical, psychological and socio-cultural transformation, but also of curiosity, experimentation and acquisition. It is mainly during adolescence that people are introduced to the use of legitimate psychoactive substances, such as alcohol and tobacco, as well as illicit substances such as cannabis. We aimed to determine the prevalence of smoking among high school students in the region of Sousse and to specify its characteristics. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in two public schools in the governorate of Sousse during the 2017/2018 school year. The data were collected by anonymous self-administered questionnaire, then processed and analyzed using the SPSS software version 20. Results A total of 294 students were included. The sex ratio was 0.78 with mean age of 17.03 years (standard deviation = 1.51). Results showed that 27.6% of students reported having already tasted tobacco. Among them, 61.8% of their parents did not know they were smoking. 17.28% started before the age of 14. Only 26% of them tried to stop but failed. Boys smoked twice as much as girls (p = 0.001). In addition, 63% of young smokers used chicha, 48.1% drank alcohol, and 35.8% used cannabis at least once. Conclusions The prevalence of smoking among these adolescents is worrying. Knowledge of related factors is important for program planning to prevent the tobacco epidemic in schools. Key messages Adolescence is the age of initiation for addictive substance use specially, Tobacco use. Knowledge of related factors is important for prevention program planning.

Studies from several countries have revealed significant effects of exposure to smoking in films on smoking behaviour and attitudes among adolescents. This study presents the first findings from the Scandinavian cultural region on this topic. With the objective to test for significant adjusted relationships between exposure to smoking in films and established smoking among 15- to 20-year-old respondents, and susceptibility to smoking among non-smokers in the same age group, a cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2008. 807 Norwegian adolescents and young adults answered a web-based questionnaire. Exposure to smoking in films is estimated by asking the respondents if they had seen films from a list of 56 popular film titles of both local and foreign origin from 2007 and 2008. Associations of exposure and smoking behaviour are tested in two logistic regression models. Respondents with the highest exposure to film smoking are more likely to be established smokers than those with no exposure (adjusted odds ratios=2.22, confidence interval=1.04-4.77). Among non-smokers, those with highest exposure to smoking in films are more likely to be susceptible to smoking than those with no exposure (adjusted odds rations=1.55, confidence interval=0.93-2.56). Film smoking is significantly associated with smoking susceptibility and established smoking among Norwegian adolescents and young adults.

Background: The prevalence of smoking has increased in recent years in Saudi Arabia. Our objectives were to determine the factors affecting smoking among physicians and to assess physicians’ quitting behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at 3 district hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It involved physicians with different levels of experience and different specialties. They were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire adapted from validated tools. The questionnaire addressed sociodemographic data, lifestyle, and work-related factors as well as smoking cessation and relapse. SPSS statistical software was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The study included 290 physicians, of whom 91% were Saudi and 59.7% were male. About 55.2% were younger than age of 30. Overall, 34.8% were smokers. The following factors had a significant association with smoking: a smoking family member/friend, resident occupational status, medical specialty, and frequent on-call duties increased the likelihood of smoking. One-third of the physicians (31.6%) who tried to quit smoking reported seeking information on social media, television, and/or the internet. The most common causes of relapse were social stress and withdrawal symptoms, while the least common was work-related stress. Conclusions: Smoking was highly prevalent among physicians. The likelihood of smoking was higher in, residents, medical specialists and those with a high number of on-call duties. Moreover, this study described cessation practices in this group, which might be considered when designing and improving counseling programs for physicians who smoke.
