Adolescent health literacy in 3 European cities and its association with smoking and smoking beliefs

2019

Abstract Background Beliefs about smoking have been found to be associated with smoking behaviour. Similarly, health literacy (HL) as a competence to make health-related decisions has been identified as an independent factor to explain differences in smoking. However, little is known about adolescents’ HL in different countries, and how HL is associated with health behaviour and health-related beliefs. The aim of this study is to describe the levels of HL in three European cities, and how HL is associated with smoking and beliefs about smoking consequences. Methods In 2016 as part of SILNE-R study, 5,088 adolescents aged 14 to 16 years answered a school survey in Amersfoort (NL), Hanover (G…

Academic well-being and smoking among 14- to 17-year-old schoolchildren in six European cities

2016

It is well established that poor academic performance is related to smoking, but the association between academic well-being and smoking is less known. We measured academic well-being by school burnout and schoolwork engagement and studied their associations with smoking among 14- to 17-year-old schoolchildren in Belgium, Germany, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal. A classroom survey (2013 SILNE survey, N = 11,015) was conducted using the Short School Burnout Inventory and the Schoolwork Engagement Inventory. Logistic regression, generalized linear mixed models, and ANOVA were used. Low schoolwork engagement and high school burnout increased the odds for daily smoking in all cou…

BACKGROUND: Tobacco-related heath inequalities are a major public health concern, with smoking being more prevalent among lower socioeconomic groups. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms leading to socioeconomic inequalities in smoking among 15-year-old adolescents by examining the mediating role of psychosocial factors in the peer group, family and school environment.METHODS: Data were derived from the international WHO-collaborative 'Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC)' study 2005/2006, including 52 907 15-year-old students from 35 European and North American countries. Socioeconomic position was measured by the Family Affluence Scale. Multilevel logistic reg…
