In 2016 a private Missouri university implemented a campus-wide tobacco-free policy to change social norms and prevent tobacco use among students, staff and faculty. This study assesses impact on tobacco and policy-related perceptions and behaviors. Before the policy went into effect and again one year later, all university students, staff and faculty were invited to participate in an online survey. Missouri Assessment of College Health Behaviors survey findings supplement results for students. Policy support and norms disapproving tobacco use on campus increased, and self-reported use of any tobacco decreased after the ban was enacted. Our results suggest that the policy led to an increase in the proportion of university community members who agree that smoking on campus is unacceptable, which contributed in turn to a decline in tobacco use on campus, consistent with our theory of effects.
2016 年，密苏里州的一所私立大学实施了校园内全面禁烟政策，以改变社会规范，防止学生、教职员工吸烟。本研究评估了该政策对烟草和相关政策认知和行为的影响。在该政策生效之前和一年后，所有的大学生、教职员工都被邀请参与在线调查。密苏里大学大学生健康行为评估的调查结果补充了学生的结果。随着禁令的实施，对校园禁烟的政策支持和规范吸烟的态度增加了，自我报告的任何形式的烟草使用都减少了。我们的结果表明，该政策导致了更多的大学校园社区成员同意在校园吸烟是不可接受的，这反过来又导致了校园内烟草使用的减少，这与我们的影响理论一致。
