Abstract

This study was a descriptive research design aiming to study a model of tobacco prevention and control in Secondary schools, Narathiwas Province. The data were collected by using the ASSIST screening test to 140 students in both schools, focus group discussion, and in-depth interviews among 30 participants including students, parents, teachers, community representatives, and local governors. All research tools were examined for logical content validity by 4 experts. The study revealed that 37 persons (26.43%) in both schools had experienced in tobacco and other drugs use. 43 persons (30.71%) had ever used only tobacco and 60 persons (42.86%) had never tried. Those situations were contributed to the development of tobacco prevention and control models in both schools consisting of 7 aspects as follows: 1) school policies and community agreements; 2) management system and school committee; 3) environmental management, 4) fully integrated tobacco control curriculum in schools 5) working against tobacco use by student leaders; 6) community and health networks. 7) continuing of tobacco control surveillance. In addition, this model was demonstrated that being a good role model was a critical role in tobacco prevention among students as well as moral and ethical values. For this model, both schools also developed similar protection patterns, except for the working of the student committee. Conclusions and suggestions: The finding showed that the integration among all levels including, individuals, family, community, and school, was a critical role contributing to the tobacco prevention and control in Secondary school model. However, this needs to be further evaluated and monitored for both its outcomes and impacts in a long period.
