Summary

The goal of this observational study is to understand the burden and determinants of tobacco use and air pollution (AP) exposure among mid- to late adolescents in Greece, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, Romania, and Uganda. This context-specific knowledge will be crucial for selecting, adapting, and implementing preventive interventions in the next phase of the project. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: * What is the perceived burden of tobacco use and AP exposure among adolescents? * What are the contextual drivers and behavioral determinants contributing to (prevention of) these risk factors? * How do the dynamics between stakeholders influence prevention efforts? In this study, data will be collected through interviews, focus group discussions, photovoice, document analysis, observations, personal exposure monitoring, and questionnaires.
