To describe the content, delivery and evaluation of tobacco-related (smoke-free) education to pre-teen students and to compare this education with current best practice.
Postal survey to staff of 136 New Zealand (NZ) schools with primary-aged children.
More than 90% of schools offered some form of education about the harmful effects of tobacco use and many relied on external providers for this education.
Although most schools offered some form of smoke-free education, there was a lack of rigorous program evaluation, particularly of programs provided by external agencies.
Smoking remains a significant health problem in NZ and improving the quality of smoke-free education for pre-teen students, before most young people initiate smoking, would be a positive step towards better health.
描述针对青少年前期学生的烟草相关（无烟）教育的内容、实施及评估情况，并将此教育与当前最佳实践进行比较。
对新西兰136所招收小学年龄段儿童的学校的教职员工进行邮政调查。
超过90%的学校提供了某种形式的关于烟草使用有害影响的教育，且许多学校依赖外部机构提供此类教育。
尽管大多数学校提供了某种形式的无烟教育，但缺乏严格的项目评估，尤其是对外部机构提供的项目。
吸烟在新西兰仍是一个重大的健康问题，在大多数年轻人开始吸烟之前，提高青少年前期学生无烟教育的质量将是迈向更健康的积极一步。
