The Effect of E-Cigarette Educational Games to Inc Rease Knowledge and Prevent The Dangers of E-Cigarettes/Personal Vaporizers in Adolescents
Keywords:
adolescent, e-cigarette, knowledge, personal vaporizerAbstract
This study aimed to assess the impact of E-Cigarette Educational Games (ECG) on improving knowledge and promoting preventive behavior against the risks of e-cigarettes and personal vaporizers among adolescents. Conducted in Indonesia in 2024, the quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent pretest and posttest control group design. A total of 158 senior high school students participated, divided into intervention and control groups based on the schools' locations. Participants were selected through random sampling, with stratified random sampling determining how many respondents came from each school. The intervention group received health education through ECG, while the control group was educated using leaflets. The educational session lasted three hours. Structured questionnaires collected data immediately after the intervention, measuring adolescents’ knowledge of e-cigarette risks and their preventive behaviors. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, with a significance level set at 0.05. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge about e-cigarette dangers in the ECG group (p = 0.000), with a similar outcome in the leaflet group (p = 0.000). Preventive behavior concerning e-cigarette use significantly improved in the ECG group (p = 0.000), while no significant change occurred in the leaflet group (p = 0.797). ECG proved to be an effective tool for increasing knowledge and fostering preventive behavior regarding e-cigarettes, with interactive approaches being more successful in promoting behavioral change than traditional methods.
