Knowledge and (Ab)Use in Connection with Novel Psychoactive Substances: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Iraqi Medical Students

“…Very recently (2017), Joh and co-workers have conducted cross-sectional analyses among Korean University students with an aim to assess the health promotion in young adults following a three-days university-wide health promotion program; the program was aiming at enhancing health awareness via promoting a healthy diet, healthy behaviour, and an active lifestyle (Joh et al, 2017). An earlier attempt back in 2012, Dargan & Wood have studied the recreational drug use, including those of traditional and novel psychoactive substances in the Asia Pacific region via critical analysis of the UNODC programmes of relevance to the topic; they have concluded that there are still gaps to be filled (Dargan & Wood, 2012).…”

“…For instance, the work accomplished by Al-Hemiary and colleagues (Bigdeli et al, 2013;Al-Diwan et al, 2015;Al-Hemiary et al, 2014;Al-Hemiary et al, 2015;Al-Hemiary et al, 2016). However, the advent of intranet networks and virtual social communication media enabled studies to be carried out promptly and with an unrivalled efficiency (Hadgar, 2016;Joh et al, 2017;Moorhead et al, 2013).…”

Effects of a health education intervention on knowledge and attitudes towards chronic non‐communicable diseases among undergraduate students in Jordan

“…Primary prevention of CNCDs can be achieved by health promotion interventions that can empower people to enhance control over their own health and environments (Joh et al, 2017;Nayak et al, 2016). Health promotion education can enhance individuals' lifestyle behaviours and their knowledge and attitudes towards the adoption of healthy behaviours particularly when innovative approaches are used (Abdo et al, 2019;Belogianni & Baldwin, 2019;Nayak et al, 2016;Selvam et al, 2017).…”

University students are vulnerable to engage in health-compromising behaviours (Almutairi et al, 2018;Joh et al, 2017), thus a distinct priority population for health promotion to enhance responsibility for their own health and minimize the risk of developing diseases later in life. Universities are key locations for cost-effective and ideal health education on CNCDs to enhance young adults lifelong behaviours, such as exercise and a healthy diet (Abdo et al, 2019;Joh et al, 2017;Nayak et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2013).…”

Improvements in knowledge and attitudes are significant precursors of behaviour change (Belogianni & Baldwin, 2019).…”
