Case Study
The program aiming to prevent smoking and promote smoking cessation was created and implemented among the first-year students. The program consisted of two parts: an online health promotion campaign and motivational interviewing. The online health promotion campaign included the posters, messages, discussion topics and the newest research data which were shared among the students through specially designed, closed groups on social media. The motivational interview was conducted individually, with the students who were interested in going through the motivational interview and applying for it. The motivational interviews were conducted by the specially educated interviewers in two sessions, lasting about 30-45 minutes and with 7 to 10 days apart. The students who applied for the motivational interviewing were assessed for the stages of change, and those in the contemplation and action phase were included.
