Develop and test an online survey to assess campus readiness to adopt smoke- and tobacco-free (SF/TF) policies.
Key informants (N = 18) at four campuses in Kentucky without a SF/TF policy recruited April 2015.
Cross-sectional design. The survey assessed six dimensions: knowledge about SF/TF policies; leadership for campus policy; resources for policy development; campus climate surrounding tobacco issues; existing tobacco policies; and political climate for campus policy development. Dimension raw scores were rescaled to range from 0-1 and summed to determine overall stage of readiness (0-6).
Political climate was highest dimension across all campuses (0.83-1.0). Knowledge dimension ranked lowest (0.0-0.50). Overall readiness scores ranged from 2.53-3.94; two campuses in preplanning and two in preparation.
Development of the online measure is timely considering the impetus to implement SF/TF policies. Findings reinforce that campuses are at varying stages of implementing these policies, and stage-based interventions are necessary.
开发并测试一项在线调查,以评估校园对采用无烟和禁烟(SF/TF)政策的准备情况。
肯塔基州四所没有 SF/TF 政策的校园的关键信息员(N=18)于 2015 年 4 月招募。
横断面设计。该调查评估了六个维度:对 SF/TF 政策的了解;校园政策的领导力;政策制定资源;围绕烟草问题的校园氛围;现有的烟草政策;以及校园政策制定的政治氛围。维度原始分数被重新调整到 0-1 的范围内,并进行求和以确定整体准备就绪程度(0-6)。
在所有校园中,政治氛围是最高的维度(0.83-1.0)。知识维度的排名最低(0.0-0.50)。整体准备就绪得分范围从 2.53-3.94;两个校园处于规划前阶段,两个校园处于准备阶段。
考虑到实施 SF/TF 政策的动力,该在线测量工具的开发是及时的。研究结果强化了校园在实施这些政策方面处于不同阶段的事实,并且需要基于阶段的干预措施。
