Advertising Ban

Background: Smoking was among the top contributors to deaths and disability as the prevalence among male adults remains high, and that among male youth increases in Indonesia. While local studies have shown high visibility of outdoor tobacco advertising around schools, the country still has no outdoor tobacco advertising ban. Objective: To examine the association between youth smoking behavior and measures of outdoor tobacco advertising density and proximity in Indonesia. Methods: We combined two primary data sources, including outdoor tobacco advertising and smoking behavior among male youth in Semarang city. We randomly selected and interviewed 400 male students at 20 high schools in the city. In addition, we interviewed 492 male adults who lived near the schools for comparison. Results: We found significant associations between smoking use among youth (but not among adults) and measures of outdoor tobacco advertising density and proximity in Semarang city. Youth at schools with medium and high density of outdoor tobacco advertising were up to 2.16 times more likely to smoke, compared to those with low density. Similarly, youth at senior high schools with proximity to outdoor tobacco advertising were 2.8 times more likely to smoke. Also, young people at poorer-neighborhood schools with a higher density of and proximity to outdoor tobacco advertising were up to 5.16 times more likely to smoke. Conclusions: There were significant associations between smoking use among male youth (but not among male adults) and measures of outdoor tobacco advertising density and proximity in Indonesia. This highlights the need to introduce an outdoor tobacco advertising ban effectively, at least near schools.

Main Streets

Values associated with statewide freight and tourist mobility; traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle safety; and small-town livability create competing objectives that are difficult to balance when main streets of small towns are also state highways. Many communities opt for bypass solutions to these issues, but the Philomath Couplet Project represents a main street solution that is sensitive to both the demands of the state highway system and the character of the local community. The controversial 10-month decision process culminated in the selection of a preferred alternative. Final design is under way, and construction is scheduled for 2006. Although many projects are developed according to context-sensitive solution principles, the Philomath Couplet Project represents a class of projects with characteristics likely to be faced throughout the United States in relation to the management of state highways that are also main streets of small towns. The difficulties encountered in conducting this project provide important insights to guide context-sensitive solutions implementation in these circumstances. The lessons learned shared in this paper highlight the need to manage the “end game” of small-town politics, the value of time and cost constraints, the need for a structured decision process, and the usefulness of evaluation criteria based on interactions of land use and transportation.

Youth Smoking

The purpose of this study was to determine if interaction effects of selected psychosocial variables could be utilized as indicators of subsequent smoking behavior among youth who had originally identified themselves on a survey as having never smoked. Interaction effects of several psychosocial variables selected for study were found to be indicative of subsequent smoking behavior.

Multistage Cluster Sampling

At present, 70% of the world's 1.1 billion smokers are in developing countries, with over 50% in Asia alone. The current study examined patterns of youth smoking in Thailand and Malaysia. Respondents were 2002 youths between the ages of 13 and 17 from Thailand (n = 1000) and Malaysia (n = 1002). Respondents were selected using a multistage cluster sampling design and surveyed between January 2005 and March 2005. Approximately 3% of youth between the ages of 13 and 17 were current smokers, with an additional 10% to 12% reporting experimental smoking. Males were between 7 and 15 times more likely to report smoking behavior than females. Less than 1% of females respondents in either country met the criteria for current smoking, and less than 5% met the criteria for experimental smoking. In contrast, more than 50% Thai males and approximately one-third of Malaysian males aged 17 met the criteria for either experimental or current smoking.
