Summary

The goal of this evaluation study is to evaluate the KickAsh! intervention, an intervention aiming to prevent smoking initiation in adolescents living in vulnerable socioeconomic situations. This intervention will be implemented in youth social work organisation that offer sport and/or recreational activities for these adolescents. Youth workers will act as implementers of the intervention.

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the intervention, whether it does or does not produce change in the smoking initiation behaviour of adolescents (= effect evaluation). Secondly, the study aims to evaluate the implementation process to generate more understanding concerning why the intervention does or does not produces change. Therefore, it will be investigated how the intervention was implemented, what exactly was implemented, in which context the intervention was implemented... (= process evaluation)

For the effect evaluation adolescents will be asked to fill in a questionaire at three time points. For the process evaluations interviews and focus groups will be organised with the adolescents and youth workers respectively.

Two groups will participate to this study: one group existing of organisations where the intervention will be implemented (=intervention group), and one group where the intervention will not be implemented (= control group).

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

KickAsh! intervention

The general aim of the KickAsh! intervention is to prevent smoking initiation in adolescents living in vulnerable socioeconomic situations. The intervention exists of different components concerning smoking prevention. Most components have a direct influence on smoking initiation by affecting several determinants of the adolescents. These components include smoke-free games, mood boards, a smoke-free camp, the Kick some Ash!-challenge and exercises concerning self-efficacy and skills. Yet, some of the components target adolescents by influencing their environment, i.e. smoking policy in the organisation and youth workers as role models. All components are developed using a combination of theoretical methods to change or influence these determinants or environmental factors.
