A Pilot Study For Developing an Adolescent Smoking Cessation Program Based on Emotional and Motivational Factors

This pilot study aims to explore the effect of emotional and motivational factors on peer support in the context of developing adolescent smoking prevention programs. Although it has potential for development, the use of emotional and motivational factors in adolescent smoking prevention is still limited. Moreover, this study was designed specifically in the context of the classroom setting, where adolescents generally spend most of their time. Two types of questionnaires were used as instruments to collect data in the two studies. The first one was used in Study I to collect information about students' opinions on cigarettes and smoking activities. The second type was used in Study II to examine the effect of emotional and motivational factors on peer support. For study replication needs, we provide a study protocol. This protocol describes a process starting from study preparation to data collection.

The current study was focused on students located in Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The entire data collection process was carried out in 2021 - 2022. Participants who participated in this study were: 1) male or female students, 2) Registered as class XI students, and 3) Aged between 15 - 17 years old. The participant was recruited from public and nonpublic high schools where the study is located. Before the study was carried out, we contacted several high schools in Palembang to ask for their availability. Among the three candidates, one high school expressed its willingness to participate (high school A).

The data collection method used is an online self-administrated survey (e.g. Google Form). The data collection process also involved the homeroom teacher, who helped distribute the online questionnaire link. Participants received a Google form link from their homeroom teacher and filled out the questionnaire online. Participants completed the questionnaire survey in about 10–15 min. Informed consent was obtained from all participants in this study, which was embedded at the beginning of the questionnaire. Participants completed the process of filling out the questionnaire by submitting it. Activity details is listed in the "steps section"
