Anti-tobacco education: the need for trials of greater length and rigor

Journal Title: Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 20, Issue 2

Abstract

Dear Editor,Kanicka et al. are to be praised for their excellent report into the effects of an anti-tobacco education programme. [1] The programme improved knowledge but seemed to have no effect on the hard outcome of behaviour and it is worth considering why. There are two main possibilities and they should be explored as they could have real effects on the way that future studies are conducted.
