Students teach students: can peer power beat secondhand smoke?
NCT ID NCT07473245
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether peer education works better than traditional lectures for teaching university students about the risks of secondhand and thirdhand tobacco smoke. 107 students in a geriatric care program took part. The goal was to see if peer-led sessions boost knowledge and awareness more than standard teaching, helping future health workers protect themselves and vulnerable older adults.
