%T Prevalence and attitudes of smoking among secondary school teachers in Hadramout coastal districts, Yemen
%X A descriptive KAP study about smoking was conducted in all the ten secondary schools in Hadramout coastal districts during October 2004 ? April 2005 and a total of 317 teachers were enrolled in the study (182 male, 135 female teachers).
The findings revealed that about 8% of the teachers were smokers; all smokers were males (prevalence 14%).
Only 10% of teachers had received training to limit smoking among students, and 27% had educational materials about harmful effects of smoking.
The study concluded that low smoking prevalence, good knowledge and attitudes of teachers, especially female teachers, toward smoking may offer a chance for smoking prevention strategies in secondary schools.
