[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST WrygR0x7. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives This stady investigated the efficacy of a social-influences tobacco prevention program conducted with adorescents living in a high tobacco production area. Methods Students in 10 experi mental schools completed the tobacco prevention program and a booster intervention. Control stedents received health education as usual. Results After 2 years of treatment, smoking cases in the treament group (vs the control group) were lower for 30-day day, and 24-hour smoking. The intervention had were of an impact on those who were involved in raising tobacco than it did on those not involved in raising tobacco. Conclusions. Although modest, effects were achieved with minimal intervention time in a high-risk group indicating that social-influences preven tion programs may be effective in such groups.
