Objectives : This study was peformed to evaluate the actual state and the effects of Smoking Prevention or Stop-Smoking Programs (Sp/SSP) for middle school students and to confirm students’’ needs for Oriental Medical Treatments (OMT) in SP/SSP.
Methods : Thirty-nine middle school students who took part in the SP/SSP of the Public Health Center (PHC) in July 2004 answered the questionnaire. There were twenty students in $PHC{\alpha}$, and 19 students in $PHC{\beta}$.
Resillts : 1. At the elementary school, SP/SSP is not enough, compared with middle school (p=.000). 2. Subjects preferred tile documents from PCH to those from school $(PCH{\alpha}: p-value=.002,\;PCH{\beta}: p-value=.004)$ 3. There was no mention of OMT in school SP/SSP. 4. The degree of thinking about need of teaming OMT in SSP has a positive correlationship (p-value=.000) with intention to be treated with auricular acupuncture therapy.
Results : The SP/SSP for middle-school students must be improved to be more active, more experimental and more individual. Also, a more various, positive approach in OMT is required toward the Stop-Smoking Program.
