PURPOSE: This study aims (a) to describe differences in smoking behavior and attitudes, and knowledge of smoking effects between those students who received smoking prevention education (Education group) and tbose who did not (Control group), and (b) to describe effects of a smoking prevention educational intervention on engineering students.METHOD: A self-oriented questionnaire was delivered to 80 freshmen in a university school of engineer. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: the Education group (n=40) and Control group (n=40). The questionnaire was delivered twice to each subject, in April, and in October, 2007. The subjects in the Education group received the intervention in July, 2007. The educational intervention consisted of lectures and exercises covering smoking effects on health and daily life, and, methods of declining an invitation from a friend to smoke.RESULTS and DISCUSSIONS: Between the two surveys the smoking rate decreased in the Education group, but did not change in the Control group. On the second survey, the subjects in the Education group showed a less accepting attitude toward the health professionals' smoking behavior, but a more accepting attitude toward the general population's smoking behavior. The Education group had higher knowledge levels about smoking effects on the second survey. Thus the education intervention appears to have enhanced knowledge, but it was ineffective for changing their attitudes toward disapproval of smoking. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more effective education programs to change students' attitudes toward smoking.
