Gender Differences

Gender Differences in Smoking in Young People

This project was conducted in 2001-2002. Its aim was to examine gender differences in smoking in young people and - on the basis of the findings - publish a report with recommendations for future gender specific smoking prevention and/or cessation programmes and research.

The result of this project was a very complete report on gender differences in smoking in adolescence in five European countries: Austria, Belgium, Scotland (UK), Portugal and Sweden.
