| Description | Journal: Australian and New Zealand journal of public health To describe the content, delivery and evaluation of tobacco-related (smoke-free) education to pre-teen students and to compare this education with current best practice. Postal survey to staff of 136 New Zealand (NZ) schools with primary-aged children. More than 90% of schools offered some form of education about the harmful effects of tobacco use and many relied on external providers for this education. Although most schools offered some form of smoke-free education, there was a lack of rigorous program evaluation, particularly of programs provided by external agencies. Smoking remains a significant health problem in NZ and improving the quality of smoke-free education for pre-teen students, before most young people initiate smoking, would be a positive step towards better health. |
