Six-months follow-up of a cluster randomized trial of school-based smoking prevention education programs in Aceh Indonesia

摘要

BackgroundSmoking prevention programs have been taught in schools to reduce the high smoking prevalence and its related problems among adolescent populations. Although short-term benefits have been observed, the long-term effectiveness of such programs appear to be inconsistent. This study aims at investigating the long-term impact of both health and Islamic focused interventions amongst students in Indonesia.
