“…The intentions of GP's to prescribe a medication can be explained by theories such as the TPB [19]. The TPB has been used extensively to predict behaviour in various areas such as smoking cessation [22,23], drugs [24], alcohol [20] and other behavioural contexts including prescribing behaviour [25,26]. Participants in this study showed that those who believed ecigarettes to be safer and less harmful than regular cigarettes, had better knowledge about e-cigarettes, felt comfortable and con dent to have discussions with patients about e-cigarettes and had a positive attitude towards recommending e-cigarettes.…”

Background: A significant policy change impacting the availability of nicotine for use in electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in Australia took effect from October 1, 2021. This change meant that nicotine containing liquids for use with e-cigarettes would only be available by prescription from a medical practitioner as part of a smoking cessation plan. This study aimed to explore General Practitioner’s (GP’s) perceptions about the role of e-cigarettes, and understand factors informing their intentions to prescribe nicotine e-liquid as part of a smoking cessation plan. Methods: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen GP’s. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit participants. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used to classify, describe and report themes in the data. QSR NVivo was used to aid coding, thematic analysis and retrieval of quotes. Results: Australian GP’s had diverse views on recommending e-cigarettes as smoking cessation aids to patients and prescription of nicotine e-liquid. Some GP’s were willing to prescribe nicotine e-liquid for e-cigarettes to patients if other methods of smoking cessation had not worked but there were concerns, and uncertainty, about the safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. There was poor understanding of the current policy and legislation about e-cigarettes in Australia. Mostly the GP’s in this sample did not feel confident or comfortable to prescribe, or have discussions about e-cigarettes with patients. Conclusion: Australian GP’s have diverse attitudes on recommending e-cigarettes for smoking cessation and prescribing nicotine e-liquids. Clarity in guidelines and consumer product information are required to enable GP’s to provide consistent and accurate advice to patients that wish to use e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid.

“…The parents deny their youth time with friends because they have realized that substance abuse is a clear, learned behavior in which the behavior is learned through imitation, modeling, and reinforcement. An individual can learn about the use of substances from their friends and their significant others, which can be influenced by the individual's beliefs, attitudes, and cognition [1].…”

“…Substance abuse by young people and the problems related to substance abuse have always been part of human history. The abuse of substances is overgrowing and such growth is not limited to any age, race, or social group [1]. The effects of substance abuse are not felt by the user only but by family members, including parents.…”

Background: Parents have a significant influence on managing and reducing the risk of substance abuse in the youth. Parents’ support and responsiveness to substance abuse progressively produce positive outcomes. They are driven by their parental instincts to help and protect their youth. Thus, when their youth abuse substances, they would do all they can to prevent the use of substances by their youth. They may use different methods to manage their youth before considering going to the hospital for help. This study investigated the interventions the parents use in managing their youth at home to make sure that they do not use the substances. Methods: A qualitative approach with the phenomenological design was adopted to explore parents’ intervention for youth abusing substances. Parents were purposively selected to participate in the study parents. Data collected through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using Tesch’s steps for qualitative data analysis. Results: Parents implemented various interventions to reduce and manage substance abuse in their youth. Some of the interventions included consultations with agents to assist their youth and raise awareness regarding substance abuse's dangers to their youth. Conclusion: The study findings have indicated that parents use various methods to ensure that their youth do not use substances. There is a need for regular meetings between parents and health care providers. It is recommended that parents consult with the health care providers on managing their youth abusing substances.

“…Nicotine, like other drugs, activates reward pathways in the brain-circuitry that regulates reinforcement and pleasurable feelings [46]. Adolescents seek sensation and value pleasure (28). As a result, the pleasurable effects of substances such as nicotine contribute to adolescent substance abuse.…”

“…Most of these adolescents who observe their parents and significant others learn both the positive and the negative behaviours because they perceive that such behaviours are acceptable among their parents and significant others. Studies conducted elsewhere have credited the social learning theory and theory of planned behaviour as one of the ways to understand the link between exposure and adolescent substance use [26][27][28]. Both theories also intimated the idea that learners may be vulnerable, and this vulnerability can make them adopt unhealthy behaviours.…”

Few studies have examined how exposure to substance influences adolescent’s use of substance in Timor-Leste. We assessed this relationship using nationally representative data from Timor-Leste to address this gap. Data was pulled from the 2015 Timor-Leste Global school-based student health survey. Data of students aged 13-17years (N = 3700) from class 7–11 across schools in Timor-Leste were analyzed for this study. Second-hand smoking exposure (AOR = 1.57 [1.31, 1.89] and parental tobacco use, AOR = 1.94 [1.54, 2.44]) was significantly related to in-school adolescent’s current use of substance after adjusting for covariates. Current substance use was also positively associated with being male, being in class 10–12, and being food insecure and negatively associated with having at least three close friends and benefiting from parental supervision. To reduce substance use among in-school adolescents, policymakers must consider the inclusion of all models in the social learning environment of adolescents in Timor-Leste.
