  • Understanding worldwide youth attitudes towards smoke-free policies

    Howard K Koh, HILLEL R ALPERT et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2011

    The majority of youth worldwide support, yet lack, smoke-free policies in public places, while being regularly exposed to SHS. Youth support of SFPs is most positively associated with knowledge of the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. Redoubling education efforts represents an opportunity to establish smoke-free environments and improve health of children in developing countries

  • Children's loss of autonomy over smoking

    Elpidoforos S Soteriades, George Spanoudis et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2010

    Two national surveys confirm previous reports of difficulty with smoking cessation with infrequent smoking. Since loss of autonomy is universally recognised as a core feature of addiction, our data indicate that young adolescents experience symptoms of nicotine addiction with infrequent tobacco use

  • Evaluation of the use of Global Youth Tobacco Survey (Gyts) data for developing evidence-based tobacco control policies in Turkey

    Open AccessToker Ergüder, B Çakır et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Findings from the GYTS, with periodic repeats of the survey, can be used to monitor the impact of enforcing various provisions of the present law (No: 4207), the progress made in achieving the goals of the WHO FCTC, and the effectiveness of various preventive interventions against smoking. Such data would inform and help in the development of public health strategy

  • Prevalence of smoking and other smoking related behaviors reported by the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (Gyts) in four Peruvian cities

    Open AccessAlfonso Zavaleta, María Salas et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    While few changes in tobacco use among youth have been observed in the GYTS in Peru, the data in this report can be used as baseline measures for future evaluation efforts. At this time, tobacco control efforts in Peru need to focus on enhancing Law 28705 to include enforcement of existing provisions and inclusion of new laws and regulations. Most of these provisions are required of all countries, such as Peru, that have ratified the WHO FCTC

  • The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (Gyts)

  • Prevalence and social environment of cigarette smoking in Cyprus youth

    Open AccessCostas A Christophi, Ourania Kolokotroni et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Smoking prevalence among Cyprus middle and high school students is high and there are indications of an increase in the prevalence of smoking among girls over the last few years. Susceptibility rates, exposure to second-hand smoke, and access to and availability of cigarettes to youth are also high and concerning. The present survey indicates that the problem of cigarette smoking among youth in Cyprus is significant and requires collective action…

  • Prevalence of smoking and other smoking-related behaviors reported by the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (Gyts) in Thailand

    Open AccessNithat Sirichotiratana, Chairat Techatraisakdi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    The key for Thailand is to implement and enforce the provisions on indirect tobacco advertising, smoking in public places, selling tobacco to youths under 18 years of age, and to use the data from the GYTS to monitor progress toward achieving the goals of the WHO FCTC. When these goals are met, tobacco consumption and exposure in Thailand will have declined substantially

  • Tobacco use and cessation counselling

    Charles W Warren, Nathan R Jones et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2008

    Health professional schools, public health organisations and education officials should discourage tobacco use among health professionals and work together to design and implement programmes that train all health professionals in effective cessation counselling techniques. If the goal of the tobacco control community is to reduce substantially the use of tobacco products, then resources should be invested in improving the quality of education of …

  • Linking data to tobacco control program action among students aged 13–15 in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) member states, 2000–2006

    Nithat Sirichotiratana, S Sovann et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2008

    Efforts to reduce the current and projected harm caused by tobacco use in the ASEAN countries are urgently needed. ASEAN countries need to expand their national comprehensive tobacco prevention and control programs and enforce those laws already passed. Without this effort little reduction can be expected in the burden of chronic diseases and tobacco-related mortality

  • Tobacco use among students aged 13–15 years in Greece

    Open AccessAthina Kyrlesi, Elpidoforos S Soteriades et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    The results of the GYTS show that the prevalence of smoking in middle-school children is alarmingly high in Greece. Smoking among young people constitutes a significant problem that is destined to worsen in the absence of any comprehensive efforts focused on strict anti-smoking legislation, policies and tobacco control interventions targeting children at a young age

    Kathy Douglas, Kathy A Douglas et al.ARTICLEJournal of American College Health1997

    Results from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, which monitored health risk behaviors among US college and university undergraduates, suggest that many students' behaviors increase their likelihood of adverse health outcomes. During the 30 days preceding the survey, 34% of the participants had consumed five or more alcoholic drinks on at least one occasion, and 27% had drunk alcohol and driven a car. Thirty-one percent had smo…

    Charles W Warren, J Timothy Johnson et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1992Cited by: 3

    In this paper data from the 1988 Swaziland Family Health Survey, the first comprehensive study of fertility and family planning conducted in Swaziland, are used to examine the relative importance of nuptiality, contraceptive use, lactation, and involuntary infertility as they affect fertility. It is shown that future decreases in fertility in Swaziland are most likely to result from increases in use of contraception. Current use of contraception …

  • Changes in contraceptive use and fertility

    Open AccessRichard S Monteith, Charles W Warren et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1991

    In El Salvador from 1978 to 1988, contraceptive use among married women 15–44 years of age increased from 34% to 47%, and the total fertility rate declined from 6·3 to 4·6 children per woman. Most of this change took place from 1978 to 1985. Sterilization is the most prevalent method used, but nearly one-half of the women who are sterilized did not use any contraception before their operation. Few young couples use reversible methods of contracep…
