Exploring Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Interventions for Schools
Background Among teenagers and young adults, suicide represents a significant public health challenge. Schools are critical for suicide prevention due to the significant time adolescents spend there. Gatekeeper training (GKT) has shown promise in increasing awareness and knowledge, but its implementation‐relevant characteristics and contextual fit in school settings require further investigation. Aim The aim of this review was to describe the pro…
Scrolling past the law? Nicotine promotion on TikTok in a regulated market
Sex-specific trends in patterns of tobacco and nicotine use among young people in Denmark from 2020 to 2023
Our study highlights the importance of sex-responsive tobacco control strategies that address males' and females' unique patterns and preferences. Future research should continue to explore these sex differences to inform effective tobacco control policies
Exploring the readiness of youth education institutions with high‐risk students to implement a suicide prevention gatekeeper intervention
Danish schools offering “preparatory basic education and training” (FGU schools) have students that are characterized by having different academic, social, or personal problems. In addition, many FGU students are at high risk of suicidal behavior. Many young people with suicide behavior do not seek help and early identification is important for suicide prevention. Teachers are in a position where it could be relevant to implement a gatekeeper int…
When smoking is the smallest problem
Objective: In Denmark, more students smoke in vocational schools than in upper secondary schools. Smoking-prevention initiatives may reduce the prevalence of smoking but may also introduce unforeseen challenges. This study examined the significance of smoking and dilemmas related to smokefree school hours (SFSH) among established smokers in Danish vocational schools. Design: Qualitative research design. Setting: Data collection took place in a vo…
Factors sustaining legitimacy of smoking in Vocational Education and Training (VET) schools
The factors sustaining legitimacy of smoking in VET schools are reciprocal and call for smoking reduction and prevention intervention efforts which consider and address social influence, habitual behavior, and psychological needs, as well as changes at the policy level
Predicting longitudinal changes in patterns of tobacco and nicotine product use among adolescents
This study demonstrates that sociodemographic, social risk, behavioral, and mental health factors impact the transition from non-use to lifetime e-cigarette and cigarette use. The findings provide valuable insights for developing targeted preventive strategies focusing on these influencing factors
Context matters in smoking prevention
Youth is a crucial period for smoking preventive interventions. School-based interventions targeting the policy level and the sociocultural processes of smoking show promising effects in reducing smoking uptake and prevalence. This study presents findings from the qualitative process evaluation of a smoking preventive intervention, Focus, in the vocational school (VET) setting. Specifically, the study focused on contextual factors affecting the i…

Socioeconomic Differences in Cigarette Smoking and Alternative Tobacco Product Use Among Adolescents in a School-Based Smoking Preventive Intervention
Background Health interventions may differently impact adolescents from diverse backgrounds. This study examined whether a smoking preventive intervention was equally effective in preventing cigarette smoking and use of alternative tobacco products (ATPs, i.e., snus, e-cigarettes, and waterpipe) among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, i.e., occupational social classes (OSC). Methods Data was from the school-based intervention X:I…
Trends in Use of Alcohol and Cigarettes among Danish Adolescents, 2002–2018
Many young adolescents experiment with substance use which can have substantial health implications later in life. This study examined trends in substance use among Danish adolescents from 2002 to 2018, including exclusive and dual current use of alcohol and cigarettes. Data on 13- and 15-year-olds (N = 15,295) from five comparable cross-sectional Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) surveys were used. Cochran-Armitage test for trend as…
Use of Tobacco and Nicotine Products among Young People in Denmark—Status in Single and Dual Use
Lots of new tobacco or nicotine products are being launched, e.g., e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, which appeal especially to the youngest part of the population. For example, the use of smokeless tobacco among Danish youth rose from approx. 2% in 2010 to 9% in 2020. Hence, there is an urgent need to follow and intervene against youth tobacco or nicotine product use. This study explored the current use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, heated toba…
Evaluating the Effects of Denmark’s New Tobacco Control Act on Young People’s Use of Nicotine Products
(1) Background: In December 2020, a broad majority of political parties in Denmark agreed on a new tobacco control act. In addition, price increases on tobacco in 2020 and 2022 became part of the Danish Finance Act. This study protocol describes the study "§SMOKE-A Study of Tobacco, Behavior, and Regulations" designed to monitor and evaluate the implementation and effect of the new strengthened tobacco control acts. The overall aim is to monitor …
Places to Smoke
Several established school smoking prevention initiatives involve restrictions on places to smoke. The focus on tobacco control in schools is due to the risk of smoking initiation during adolescence and the perception of this life stage as a period of time when health behavior is established. Hence, this period of time is considered to be ideal for health-promoting initiatives. This paper is part of an ethnographic study on adolescents' perceptio…
