Assalamualaikum..
Smoking prevention among adolescence, i found this topic quit interesting to review...enough with manglish !! =B, sy sebenarnya jumpa jurnal ni di Scopus dr UKM punya e-jurnal database semasa search journals for my assignment. We were trained to read jurnal since year2, esp for evidance-based practice whatsoever..
Regular classroom learning by teacher lectures, lecture and supplementary activities included videotapes, role-playing, and other interactive activities delivered by a trained health educator, community leader and community-based instructor have shown to reduce the initiation of cigarette use. This is results from increasing knowledge and awareness of negative effects of smoking and effects of smokeless tobacco.
But there are also barriers that might explain why adolescent smoking prevention programs are poorly represented among all tobacco control programs:

Cigarette use remains the leading preventable cause of death. First cigarette in adolescence are usually a leading cause of becoming daily smokers by the preadult age and are less likely to quit smoking.
Studies have shown that antismoking programs should begin when students are young due to the important social, cognitive, biological, and emotional changes that take place during this time. Implementation of school-based and community based intervention seem to be the ideal setting for anti-smoking interventions as it offers a captive audience of those at risk for smoking. But limitation in school-based programs is unable to guarantee a long term effect.

But there are also barriers that might explain why adolescent smoking prevention programs are poorly represented among all tobacco control programs:
1) fewer programs have been developed to prevent smoking, funding is often difficult to obtain for prevention programs compared with cessation programs.
2) majority of the successful programs were aimed at a certain demographic.
3) programs assessed highly variable outcomes, such as tobacco knowledge, refusal efficacy, attitudes, normative beliefs, and behaviors. This variety of outcomes presents a challenge in determining overall efficacy.( Elyse J. Sherman, Brian A. Primack, 2009 )
