尽管人们越来越关注水烟，但约旦青年使用这种烟草方法的模式和预测因素并不为人所知。目前的研究是为了评估约旦中央省一个学龄学生中水管烟草吸烟的模式和预测因素。进行了一项横断面调查，以调查青少年（6年级，8年级，10年级和12年级）的水烟吸烟模式和预测因素。通过多阶段随机抽样，选择了1 000多名学生。使用阿拉伯青年烟草使用综合措施（YTUCM）收集数据。对“过去12个月”、“过去一个月”和“过去一周”的水烟进行评估。学生的年龄范围为11至18岁（平均年龄± 14.7岁; SD ± 1.9岁）。在所有使用频率中，抽水烟筒的女孩比例都高于男孩。年龄、性别和吸烟会交到更多朋友的信念是研究参与者吸烟的预测因素。这是已知的第一项针对11岁和12岁青少年吸烟的研究。我们的研究结果表明，需要开展公共卫生运动，以达到和教育青年，他们的家庭，教师和学校系统越来越认识到水管吸烟的健康风险。
Despite the increase in attention to waterpipe tobacco smoking, the patterns and predictors of this method of tobacco use among Jordanian youth are not well known. The current study was conducted to assess the patterns and the predictors of waterpipe tobacco smoking among school aged students in one of Jordan’s Central Governorates. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the patterns and predictors of waterpipe tobacco smoking among youth (grades 6, 8, 10 and 12). Using a multistage random sampling more than 1,000 students was selected. Data were collected using the Arabic Youth Tobacco Use Composite Measure (YTUCM). Waterpipe smoking was assessed for “past 12 months”, “past month” and “past week”. Students’ ages ranged from 11 to 18 years, (mean age ± 14.7; SD ± 1.9 years). The percentage of girls who smoked waterpipe was greater for all frequencies of use than it was for boys. Age, gender, and belief that smoking makes more friends were predictors of smoking among study participants. This is the first known study to examine waterpipe smoking among youth aged 11 and 12. Our findings illustrate the need for public health campaigns to reach and educate youth, their families, teachers and school systems regarding the growing recognized health risks of waterpipe smoking.
