To provide a nontraditional source of data to university policymakers regarding student, faculty, and staff approval of university smoke/tobacco-free policies, as published through campus newspaper articles.
From January to April 2016, a total of 2523 articles were retrieved concerning campus smoking/tobacco at 4-year, public universities. Of these, 54 articles met the inclusion factors, which described 30 surveys about campus approval of tobacco-free policies and 24 surveys about smoke-free policies.
In all, the surveys included more than 130 000 respondents. With the exception of 4 surveys, all reported that the most of the respondents approved a tobacco/smoke-free campus policy.
Although the study had several limitations, the findings provide a synthesis from a nontraditional data source that is consistent with findings from the peer-reviewed literature, in which most of the students, faculty, and staff on university campuses approve of smoke/tobacco-free campus policies.
通过校园报纸文章,为大学政策制定者提供关于学生、教师和工作人员对大学无烟/无烟草政策认可情况的非传统数据来源。
2016年1月至4月,共检索到4年制公立大学有关校园吸烟/烟草问题的2523篇文章。其中,54篇文章符合纳入标准,这些文章描述了30项关于校园对无烟草政策认可情况的调查以及24项关于无烟政策的调查。
这些调查总共包括超过130000名受访者。除4项调查外,所有调查均报告称大多数受访者赞成无烟/无烟草校园政策。
尽管该研究存在若干局限性,但研究结果提供了一个来自非传统数据源的综合分析,这与同行评审文献中的研究结果一致,即在大学校园中,大多数学生、教师和工作人员赞成无烟/无烟草校园政策。
