Analysis of smoking surveillance results among Beijing primary and secondary school staff in 2019 / 中国学校卫生

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand the current situation of tobacco use in primary and secondary school staff members in Beijing in 2019, and its association with adolescent tobacco use and exposure, in order to promote the construction of smoke-free schools.@*Methods@#During April to June in 2019，PPS sampling was used to select primary schools, secondary schools and vocational high school. Each selected school randomly investigates 20 faculty members, totalling 2 737. The monitoring contents mainly include the current tobacco use, knowledge and attitude towards health risk of smoking among the school staff.@*Results@#The faculty did not receive the training of adolescent tobacco control (OR=0.20,95%CI=0.14-0.28) were only 20% likely to teach tobacco hazard knowledge compared to the trained staff, and refusal to use tobacco control instruction manual (OR=0.21,95%CI=0.14-0.32) was negatively associated with teaching tobacco control with students. Staff members having given lectures on tobacco refusal were more inclined to uphold "any people can t smoke anywhere on campus "(98.53%), and the interpretation of the rules tends to be more clear. Staff who has been employed for 20-30 years (OR=3.35,95%CI=2.22-5.05) were the most probably to preach tobacco control among students(P＜0.05).@*Conclusion@#Staff caring about health and participate actively in health training were more willing to spread health knowledge. More attention should be paid to the cultivation of health literacy of school staff, and proactively guide faculty unwilling to instruct students in health hazard of smoking to gradually realize the importance of adolescent tobacco control.
