Abstract

Rising worldwide adolescent smoking necessitates national and global research to establish intervention methods. This research evaluated the efficacies of 5A’s and 3A’s interventions. Self-reported quit-smoking attempts were the outcome measure. Methods: Six villages were randomly selected and equally divided into three groups: 5A’s, 3A’s, and Control (no intervention). Five hundred nineteen current participant-smokers aged 13-17 were followed-up by phone (first and third months) and face-to-face interviews (sixth and ninth months). Most 3A’s participants (n = 12, 7.1%) quitted smoking in the first month, followed by the 5A’s (n = 9, 5.3%) and the Control (n = 3, 1.9%).  In the third month, 5A’s participants topped the rank (n = 16, 10.7%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 14, 9.2%), and Control (n = 5, 3.4%). As per sixth-month follow-up, the 5A’s group maintained its position on top of the list (n = 27, 21.4%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 22, 17.1%) and the Control (n = 5, 4.0%). The majority of 5A’s participants quitted smoking after nine months (n=36, 33.0%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 27, 25.5%), while Control maintained its position (n = 5, 5.0%). 5A intervention prevented adolescent smokers from becoming chronic smokers.
