Abstract:
BACKGROUND:In India, NGOs play a key role in creating a supportive environment for the control of tobacco consumption. AIMS:This study was conducted to assess the scope and the extent to which community-based women organizations are involved in tobacco control activities. To assess the scope and extent of participation in tobacco control activities according to the sociodemographic characteristics and also the extent to which they have participated in tobacco control activities. SETTINGS AND DESIGN:The participants were Kudumbasree volunteers from the rural areas of Kannur district of Kerala state, India. This population-based study adopted a cross-sectional design. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A self-administered, structured, close-ended, pre-tested questionnaire was prepared and used to collect data from 1000 female volunteers who participated in the study. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:Chi-square test was used to compare nonparametric variables, such as education, marital status, and age with attitude toward tobacco control activities. RESULTS:Age of the participants ranged from 17 to 53 years. The association between education level and positive attitude to participate in tobacco control activities was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.001). A statistically significant association between participation in tobacco control activities and marital status (P < 0.001) was observed. With regard to education and readiness/willingness to participate in tobacco control activities, in all the education groups more than 90% were willing to participate in tobacco control activities. Among the ever married participants, 98% were willing to participate in antitobacco activities. Old age, husband working in a beedi factory, or not being able to make frequent visits were the reasons reported for their unwillingness of the remaining people. CONCLUSION:Based on the findings, a set of Kudumbasree volunteers were trained in tobacco and health to work in the community.
