“…There is insufficient evidence on the effects of school tobacco policies on student smoking. One high-quality review (40) found only one RCT (n=1807) from China. This study was of low quality with high risk of bias.…”

Evidence from one high quality (Coppo et al, 2014) and three medium quality (Aveyard et al, 2004, Sellström and Bremberg, 2006, Bonell et al, 2013c reviews suggests the effects of such policies for reducing adolescent smoking is weak and inconclusive.…”

“…However, there has been no adequate synthesis drawing together evidence on a diversity of school-level factors that influence students' health-related behaviours. Most existing systematic reviews in this area have a narrow scope, for example focusing on school-based health services (Paul and Fabio, 2014), rules and policies (Coppo et al, 2014) or engagement and support (Aveyard et al, 2004). This paper reports a systematic review of reviews (RoR) to examine observational studies of school-level effects on substance use, violence and sexual-health.…”

Systematic review of reviews of observational studies of school-level effects on sexual health, violence and substance use

et al. 2016

For three decades there have been reports that the quality of schools affects student health. The literature is diverse and reviews have addressed different aspects of how the school environment may affect health. This paper is the first to synthesise this evidence using a review of reviews focusing on substance-use, violence and sexual-health. Twelve databases were searched. Eleven included reviews were quality-assessed and synthesised narratively. There is strong evidence that schools' success in engaging students is associated with reduced substance use. There is little evidence that tobacco-control policies and school sexual-health clinics on their own are associated with better outcomes.
