“…Three studies explicitly measured the prevalence of alternative tobacco products such as waterpipe smoking, cigar, pipe smoking and chewing tobacco 36 45 64. For example, Giuliani et al 36 found that among Somali youths, the prevalence of waterpipe smoking was 2.3%; 1.7% for chewing tobacco; and 2.3% for cigar smoking. For Palestinian refugee students, the prevalence of waterpipe smoking ranged from 11.7% in Gaza to 33.7% in Lebanon; and the prevalence of smokeless tobacco ranged from 5.5% in Syria to 9.1% in West Bank 45…”

“…Two studies analysing data from surveys of Somali youths in the USA and youths in Iraq found smokers among Somali youths in the USA perceived smoking as making them ‘look cool’ (p=0.02) and have more friends (p=0.01) compared with non-smokers;36 while smokers among Iraqi youths felt that boys who smoke have more friends (OR=1.32) and are seen to be more attractive (OR=1.15) compared with non-smokers 60…”

“…With regard to knowledge on health hazards related to tobacco use, most participants were aware that smoking is harmful for health and some were also aware of the specific risks associated with cardiovascular diseases 30 36 64. However, adolescent smokers, compared with non-smokers, had significantly less (p=0.01) awareness of the harm of smoking even lower numbers of cigarettes (1–5 cigarettes per day) 36.…”

We examined the variations of adolescent health status and risk involvement-prevalence of mental health disabilities, chronic health conditions, substance use, and exposure to tobacco-between 6 family structures in a school-based sample of Latino, Somali, Hmong, and White students and whether ethnicity moderated these associations. Data were collected from the 2013 Minnesota Student Survey, comprising a sample of 29,345 from 8 th , 9 th , and 11 th grades. Logistic regression investigated relationships between family structure and health variables. Adolescents in nuclear families reported better health outcomes in most models; odds of mental disabilities were 1.64 for single parent and 2.45 for other family structures. Significant effect modification was noted for all health outcomes; extended families were consistently protective for Hmong youth and offered some protection for Latino and Somali youth. Policies and programs that support parents and guardians are essential, and may be especially beneficial for ethnic minority youth in single-parent, grandparentonly, and other family structures.

This paper aims at exploring existing literature on substance use prevention programs, focusing on refugee youth. A comprehensive search for relevant articles was conducted on Scopus, PubMed, and EBSCOhost Megafile databases including Academic Search Ultimate, APA PsycArticles, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL with Full Text, E-Journals, Humanities Source Ultimate, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection, and Sociology Source Ultimate. Initially, a total of 485 studies were retrieved; nine papers were retained for quality assessment after removing duplicates. Of the nine studies that met the inclusion criteria, only three are found to partially addressed substance use prevention programs. The two substance use prevention programs that emerge from the study are Adelante Social and Marketing Campaign (ASMC), and Screening and Brief Intervention (SBI). Six others explored protective factors and strategies for preventing substance use. The study findings show that refugee youth held negative attitudes toward institutions that provide substance use prevention programs. This review concluded that refugee youth often experience persistent substance use as they are not aware of prevention programs that may reduce the prevalence and/or severity of such misuse.
