Abstract:
Despite current prevention and cessation efforts, adolescent smoking remains a pressing issue worldwide, including in Korea. The current study evaluates Project EX-Korea, a teen tobacco use cessation program, three months after baseline. The quasi-experimental trial intervention involved 160 smokers in 10th to 12th grade, 85 from the program condition schools and 75 from the control. At three-month follow-up, the intent-to-treat (ITT) quit rate in the program group (30.2%) was 3.6 times that of the rate in the standard care control group (9.2%; p < 0.05). Among those who did not quit, those in the program group smoked less on average than those in the control group, but there was no difference in follow-up mFTQ scores between the two non-quitter groups. As teen tobacco use cessation programming is much needed in Korea, Project EX is a plausible program to implement among Korean adolescents.
