Resumen
[ES] El tabaquismo es un problema actual y de importancia creciente en nuestra sociedad, al que se le atribuyen cada año más de 50.000 muertes evitables. El presente programa de educación para salud trata de reducir el número de personas que cada año se inician en el consumo de tabaco durante la adolescencia: una etapa de especial vulnerabilidad dónde las actividades de prevención resultan muy necesarias. Así pues, para que la prevención resulte lo más eficaz posible, se deben controlar el mayor número de variables que inciden sobre esta conducta, entre la que cabe destacar el grupo de amigos/as. El medio escolar resultar ser un ámbito de intervención clave para la prevención del tabaquismo, ya que en él confluyen un gran número de adolescentes, lo que permite intervenir y modificar la conducta en el grupo de iguales. El punto fuerte de este programa se debe a la combinación de diferentes estrategias educativas como son la transmisión de información, potenciación de capacidades y habilidades personales y sensibilización, todo ello orientado a modificar actitudes y valores. Utiliza también una gran variedad de técnicas y actividades que persiguen favorecer la dinamización y aumentar la eficacia preventiva. Algunas de las técnicas empleadas son los debates, la lluvia de ideas, el video fórum o el análisis de una tira cómica.
[EN] Smoking is a current and increasingly important problem in our society, which are attributed each year more than 50,000 preventable deaths. This health education programme aims to reduce the number of people who each year begin in smoking consumption during the adolescence: a particular vulnerable stage where prevention activities are very necessary. Thus, to make prevention as efficient as possible, we should control the largest number of variables which influence in this behaviour, where we can include the group of friends. The school proves to be a key area for smoking prevention because there many teenagers converge, allowing to intervene and modify behavior in the group. The strong point of this programme is due to the fact that different strategies are combined. These strategies are information transmission, personal abilities promotion and being sensitive. This chase to change attitude and values. It uses a wide variety of techniques and activities whose aim is to make the session easier and interesting and increase the prevention efficacy. Some of these techniques are discussion, brainstrom, video-forum and comic strip analysis.
