An Integrated Intervention to Reduce Secondhandsmoke in Children

"The intervention at the classroom consisted of six sessions with the pupils of one hour each that were conducted by the teacher/tutor. We provided the teachers with a training session and a teachers' guide, and we gave each pupil a workbook with the activities. At the school level, the intervention consisted of four types of posters with specific messages directed to students, teachers, and parents, and the fourth poster type advertised the new smoking laws. we gave teachers and school managers the guide Towards a Smoke-Free School to facilitate the prevention and control of smoking (active and passive) in the school environment. Family level activities: Parents were required to complete the My risk thermometer activity at home with their children. Parents received a brochure with information on the risks of SHS exposure and recommendations to prevent SHS exposure, and a refrigerator magnet with the logo of the program."
