Research in tobacco prevention is increasingly showing that anti-smoking campaigns aimed at youth work. However, not all interventions are effective, and some have had unintended harmful effects, even to the point of increasing tobacco use by youth. In this commentary, we discuss potentials risks associated with interventions poorly supported by the evidence, using the example of tobacco prevention campaigns that focus on the effects of smoking on beauty. We conclude with two points: 1) the importance of using strategies based on evidence, and 2) the importance of rigorous evaluation of innovative strategies.
烟草预防方面的研究越来越表明,针对青少年的反吸烟运动是有效的。然而,并非所有干预措施都有效,有些甚至产生了意想不到的有害影响,甚至到了增加青少年吸烟率的程度。在这篇评论中,我们以关注吸烟对美貌影响的烟草预防运动为例,讨论与证据支持不足的干预措施相关的潜在风险。我们得出两点结论:1)使用基于证据的策略的重要性,以及2)对创新策略进行严格评估的重要性。
