Study Arms (1)

six sessions of online classes and virtual training day camps through Zoom in two days

OTHER

The Smoke-free teens will join six sessions of online classes via an e-platform in October 2020 and followed by virtual training day camps through Zoom in two days in December 2020 organized by COSH. The online classes will educate students the knowledge on smoking hazards, tobacco control and smoking cessation. In addition, the teens will be taught how to deliver a brief smoking cessation intervention using the "AWARD" Model. After the online classes, the teens will then break down into groups to organize smoke-free programmes in their schools or in the community. All Smoke-free Teens will be invited to respond to the structured questionnaire at baseline (T1), immediately after the online classes (T2), and 3 months later (T4). They will be asked to complete a process evaluation form immediately after the training camp (T3). Each group of teens will have to submit the written proposal and final report regarding the smoke-free programme to COSH at 3 months (T4), respectively.
