College campuses have policies restricting smoking/vaping on campus. Previous studies involving mostly European-American students showed smoking prevalence declines following implementation of such policies.To evaluate a social media campaign promotive of stronger campus support for an existing campus no-smoking/no-vaping policy where most (∼75%) of the undergraduates were non-European-American. A demographically comparable university served as a no-intervention control.Target was 200 random intercept surveys at each university during fall 2016, spring 2017. Of 800 respondents, 681 were undergraduates.Baseline and post-intervention surveys assessed awareness of and support for campus-wide smoke-free/vape-free policies. Staged smoke-free/vape-free policy violations assessed students' propensity to intervene in support of the policy.Respondent support for the no-smoking/no-vaping policy did not change.The social media campaign and Policy Ambassadors program did not increase support for the campus no-smoking/no-vaping policy. Most (∼90%) respondents agreed that the campus no-smoking/no-vaping policy was important for public health.
大学校园有禁止在校园内吸烟/吸电子烟的政策。之前的研究主要涉及欧洲裔美国学生，结果表明，在实施这些政策后，吸烟率有所下降。本研究评估了一项社交媒体活动，该活动旨在增强对现有校园禁烟/禁电子烟政策的支持，而该政策的大多数（约 75%）本科生都不是欧洲裔美国人。一所具有类似人口统计学特征的大学作为不干预的对照组。目标是在 2016 年秋季和 2017 年春季，在每所大学进行 200 次随机拦截调查。在 800 名受访者中，有 681 名是本科生。基线和干预后调查评估了对校园内全面禁烟/禁电子烟政策的认识和支持。分阶段的禁烟/禁电子烟政策违规行为评估了学生支持该政策的干预意愿。受访者对禁烟/禁电子烟政策的支持没有改变。社交媒体活动和政策大使计划并没有增加对校园禁烟/禁电子烟政策的支持。大多数（约 90%）受访者认为校园禁烟/禁电子烟政策对公众健康很重要。
