Policymakers may sometimes be reluctant to develop policies for smoke-free outdoor spaces due to concerns about public reaction. In this study, we investigated the support for a smoke-free campus before and after the campus of a Dutch research institute became smoke-free.
We conducted two surveys among employees to measure the level of support for a smoke-free campus. The first survey (n=129) was conducted 3 months before and the second 13 months after the implementation of a smoke-free campus policy (n=134).
More employees supported the smoke-free campus after (82.1%) than before (64.3%) implementation (OR=2.55; 95% CI: 1.39-4.70; p=0.003). In addition, more employees (75.4%) employees believed it is important to have a smoke-free campus than was the situation before (56.6%) the implementation (OR=2.28; 95% CI: 1.31-3.97; p=0.004).
This case study adds to the knowledge that support for a smoke-free campus increases after implementation of a smoke-free policy. This may encourage other organizations or local governments to create policies for smoke-free outdoor spaces.
由于担心公众反应，政策制定者有时可能不愿制定无烟户外空间政策。在本研究中，我们调查了荷兰一所研究机构校园实施无烟政策前后对无烟校园的支持情况。
我们对员工进行了两次调查，以衡量对无烟校园的支持程度。第一次调查（n = 129）在无烟校园政策实施前3个月进行，第二次调查（n = 134）在实施后13个月进行。
实施后支持无烟校园的员工（82.1%）比实施前（64.3%）更多（OR = 2.55；95% CI：1.39 - 4.70；p = 0.003）。此外，认为拥有无烟校园很重要的员工（75.4%）比实施前（56.6%）更多（OR = 2.28；95% CI：1.31 - 3.97；p = 0.004）。
本案例研究进一步证明，实施无烟政策后对无烟校园的支持会增加。这可能会鼓励其他组织或地方政府制定无烟户外空间政策。
