GHPSS is a school-based survey that collects self-administered data from students in regular classroom settings. GHPSS produces representative data at the national or city level in each country. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, and cessation counseling among medical students using the GHPSS data.
The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was conducted among 3rd year medical students in 47 countries and the Gaza Strip/West Bank from 2005-2008 to determine the prevalence of tobacco use and amount of formal training in cessation counseling.
In 26 of the 48 sites, over 20% of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in 37 sites. Over 70% of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in 29 of 48 sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society (over 80% in 42 of 48 sites), believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco (over 80% in 41 of 48 sites), but few reported receiving formal training (less than 40% in 46 of 48 sites).
Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among health professionals, promote smoke free workplaces, and implement programs that train medical students in effective cessation-counseling techniques.
全球医学生调查（GHPSS）是一项基于学校的调查，从常规课堂环境中的学生那里收集自我管理的数据。GHPSS 在每个国家或城市层面产生具有代表性的数据。本研究旨在使用 GHPSS 数据调查医学生的烟草使用、二手烟暴露和戒烟咨询情况。
全球健康专业学生调查（GHPSS）于 2005-2008 年在 47 个国家和加沙地带/西岸的三年级医学生中进行，以确定烟草使用的流行率和戒烟咨询的正规培训量。
在 48 个地点中的 26 个，超过 20%的学生目前吸烟，37 个地点的男性吸烟率高于女性。在 48 个地点中的 29 个，超过 70%的学生报告在公共场所接触过二手烟。大多数学生认为他们是社会的榜样（在 48 个地点中的 42 个，超过 80%），认为他们应该接受关于咨询患者戒烟的培训（在 48 个地点中的 41 个，超过 80%），但很少有学生报告接受过正规培训（在 48 个地点中的 46 个，不到 40%）。
控烟工作必须阻止卫生专业人员吸烟，促进无烟工作场所，并实施培训医学生有效戒烟咨询技巧的计划。
