| description | Background
Although Indonesia has not ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco
Control, it has developed a series of tobacco control policies at the local
level. Strong presence of tobacco industry is marked with intensive marketing towards
young people. This study assessed the impact of local smoke-free policy (SFP) on
prevalence of daily and non-daily smoking among youth living in 33 provinces,
98 municipalities, and 412 regencies in Indonesia in 2007 and 2013.
Methods
Data
on 239,170 adolescents (12-17 years old) was derived from the 2007 and 2013 basic
health survey (RISKESDAS) performed by Indonesia Ministry of Health. Information
on local tobacco control policies was derived from official documents from 84 districts and 8 provinces. District SFP and
provincial SFP were distinguished. A multilevel logistic regression analysis compared
the odds of daily and non-daily smoking between areas with and without SFP.
Results
Respondents
who reported smoked daily was 4.6 % and non-daily was 4.4% in 2007. Smoking
prevalence rates were high among males, in older adolescents, areas with high
GDP per-capita, and rural areas. Different models consistently observed
significantly reduction of daily smoking (OR:0.85; CI95%:0.79-0.90) and
non-daily smoking (OR:0.92; CI95%:0.86-0.98) prevalence between 2007 and 2013.
No difference in daily smoking and non-daily smoking was observed between districts
with and without SFP. Intermediate compared with no provincial SFP was
significantly associated to reduce the odds of non-daily (OR:0.82; CI95%:0.69-0.98)
smoking, while no association was found between no provincial SFP and high group.
Conclusions
Smoke-free
policies at the municipal level seemed to have no effect to reduce smoking
among youth in local settings of Indonesia while policies at the provincial
level were associated with lower smoking rates. To have better result of the
smoking prevention among youth in the future, we suggest enhancing provincial
SFP and strengthening the implementation of local SFP as well. |
