In this study, we investigated the relationship between school e-cigarette policy and e-cigarette use among students. Secondarily, we examined whether this relationship varied by administrator perceptions about e-cigarette use being "an issue."
Data were utilized from written school policies, a school tobacco surveillance study of 2755 students (N = 310,412), and administrator interviews in 54 Texas schools.
When administrators perceived e-cigarettes as an issue, the odds of ever e-cigarette use, susceptibility to use e-cigarettes, and perceived peer use of e-cigarettes were 0.20-0.54 times lower for students attending schools that had an e-cigarette policy compared to those without a policy (p < .05).
The impact of school policies on student e-cigarette use behavior is positive if policies are strongly implemented.
在本研究中,我们调查了学校电子烟政策与学生电子烟使用之间的关系。其次,我们研究了这种关系是否因管理人员对电子烟使用为“一个问题”的认知而有所不同。
数据来自学校书面政策、一项对2755名学生(N = 310,412)的学校烟草监测研究以及对德克萨斯州54所学校管理人员的访谈。
当管理人员将电子烟视为一个问题时,与没有电子烟政策的学校的学生相比,有电子烟政策的学校的学生曾经使用电子烟的几率、使用电子烟的易感性以及认为同伴使用电子烟的比例低0.20 - 0.54倍(p <.05)。
如果政策得到有力实施,学校政策对学生电子烟使用行为的影响是积极的。
