Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The purpose of the present study was to examine characteristics that predict interest in school-based cessation programs among 3136 youth smokers with intentions to quit smoking. The majority of youth smokers report that they would not join a school-based smoking cessation program. However, improving awareness of these types of programs among students is important as sub-populations of youth smokers were more likely to be interested in school-based cessation initiatives when aware that such programs exist. Future school-based cessation intervention outcomes might be improved if programs are targeted to the youth that are most likely to use them, if more youth can be made aware of existing programs, and if the benefits of participating in such programs can be more adequately conveyed to youth smokers.
