Summary

Building the community's capacity by training youngsters to refer smokers to professional smoking cessation services offers a good strategy to support smoking cessation. Peer pressure is considered the most common reason for smoking in young people. Smoking cessation interventions that target peers are likely to have substantial effects. This health promotion project based on the service-learning model will provide opportunity for young people to learn and practice the AWARD model with hands-on experience under the supervision of nursing students who are considered experienced peer counselors.
