Adolescent smoking cessation: evaluating
a European pilot programme

Powerpoint
Presentation
Abstract
Following literature reviews from the Netherlands and
Wales, and pilot schemes in Denmark, the Netherlands and
Wales, the Welsh Assembly Government led the development
of further pilot projects in: Belgium; Denmark; Greece;
the Netherlands; Portugal; the Slovak Republic; Spain
and Wales. Most projects delivered school-based weekly
cessation sessions over a six to eight week period focussing
on 16 to 18 year olds. However, there was variation in
the approach adopted and in the contexts in which projects
operated.
Researchers from the Cardiff Institute of Society, Health
and Ethics (CISHE) were appointed to evaluate the EU funded
pilot programme focussing on a process evaluation of how
the programme was implemented, delivered and supported
in three case study countries. Immediate post-project
outcome data will be presented where available but CO-verified
abstinence data are not available.
This presentation will focus on the results of the process
evaluation. This will include key lessons about what works
in terms of setting up and implementing projects with
a particular focus on adapting smoking cessation activities
for adults to the different and changing needs of adolescents.
