Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention

Family‐based programmes for preventing smoking by children and adolescents

This is not the most recent version

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

To assess the effectiveness of interventions to help family members strengthen non‐smoking attitudes and promote non‐smoking by children and other family members by identifying and assessing RCT's that provide training, skills and support to family members to prevent smoking initiation.

Hypothesis: This is an exploratory review, and only one hypothesis based on the literature review will be tested: "Interventions to help family members strengthen non‐smoking attitudes and promote non‐smoking by children and other family members are more effective in preventing children starting smoking than no intervention."
