Context:
Community Development for teenage smoking prevention is one of the themes approached by the project Building Capacity for Tobacco Research in Romania, which was initiated by Davidson College (USA) and coordinated by UMF Tg. Mureş.Our basic idea was that prevention must aim at the development of the motivation-evaluation dimension of personality - i.e. the affective-motivational structure, at the level of needs, wishes, anxieties, complexes etc - and at orientation, on which the development capacity of the person depends. The accent must lay on mobilizing basic (archetype) resources of the individuals and the communities.
Methodology:
the collection of data is done using questionnaires, interviews and a projective test from a sample of 200 adolescents aged 14 - 15, from Transylvania.
Results:
the necessity of empowerment through actions of the local communities and sustaining of the individualization process in adolescents.
