This study measured whether a tobacco cessation program in Nevada's Clark County School District (CCSD) delivered by dental educators affected ninth-grade students' short-term perceived knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and intentions (KABI) toward tobacco use and whether the CCSD's immersion approach led to positive changes in students' KABI. A quantitative research methodology with a descriptive research design was used. Data were collected from 617 students using pre- and post-program surveys self-administered by the participants. The surveys were based on those used previously in national and other large-scale epidemiologic studies assessing tobacco intervention program effectiveness. The survey data revealed that, after the program, more students had an increased awareness of tobacco use dangers to their health and significantly increased awareness of the negative consequences of tobacco use. The number of students who did or did not use tobacco changed very little as a result of the program, but the tobacco users on the post-program survey did report statistically significant decreases in overall use. Significant reduction in tobacco usage by the tobacco users indicates some desire on the part of smoking students to quit or reduce their tobacco usage. Little evidence of major changes in student attitudes was found.
本研究旨在评估内华达州克拉克县学区（CCSD）的牙科教育者实施的戒烟计划是否影响了九年级学生对烟草使用的短期感知知识、态度、行为和意图（KABI），以及 CCSD 的沉浸式方法是否导致学生 KABI 的积极变化。采用定量研究方法和描述性研究设计。使用先前在全国和其他大规模流行病学研究中评估烟草干预计划效果的调查，从 617 名学生那里收集了数据。调查数据显示，在该计划实施后，更多的学生意识到烟草使用对健康的危害，并且显著提高了对烟草使用负面影响的认识。由于该计划，使用或不使用烟草的学生人数变化不大，但在计划后的调查中，使用烟草的学生报告总体使用量呈统计显著下降。使用烟草的学生的烟草使用量显著减少表明，一些吸烟学生有戒烟或减少烟草使用的愿望。在学生态度方面，几乎没有发现重大变化的证据。
