The study assessed awareness, opinions, practices regarding electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and factors associated with their use among Romanian high school students.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2013 in two major Romanian cities, distributing anonymous questionnaires to 342 high school students aged 16-18.
52.3% of the smokers, 29.2% of the ex-smokers and 7% of the never-smokers had tried e-cigarettes at least once in their life; 7.8% of the smokers and 4.6% of the ex-smokers had used e-cigarettes in the last month. Among smokers, e-cigarette use was associated with lower participation in school health education regarding e-cigarettes and with having parents using e-cigarettes.. Among ex-smokers and never-smokers, e-cigarette use was associated with intention to use e-cigarettes in the next year and with having friends who use e-cigarettes.
Health education programmes and regulatory interventions addressing e-cigarettes are needed in Romania. More research is necessary on how to develop effective public health messages.
本研究评估了罗马尼亚高中生对电子烟的认知、看法、使用情况以及与使用电子烟相关的因素。
2013年在罗马尼亚两个主要城市开展了一项横断面研究，向342名年龄在16 - 18岁的高中生发放匿名问卷。
52.3%的吸烟者、29.2%的曾经吸烟者和7%的从不吸烟者一生中至少尝试过一次电子烟；7.8%的吸烟者和4.6%的曾经吸烟者在过去一个月内使用过电子烟。在吸烟者中，使用电子烟与较少参与学校关于电子烟的健康教育以及父母使用电子烟有关。在曾经吸烟者和从不吸烟者中，使用电子烟与明年使用电子烟的意愿以及有使用电子烟的朋友有关。
罗马尼亚需要开展针对电子烟的健康教育项目和监管干预措施。有必要就如何制定有效的公共卫生信息开展更多研究。
