BACKGROUND: This study sought to identify factors associated with school personnel’s support for tobacco- free policies in Uganda in 2007 and 2011. METHODS: Data were obtained from the combination of the 2007 (n=515) and 2011 (n=682) Ugandan Global School Personnel Survey (GSPS). Analyses included chi-square statistics and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Of the participants, 92.9% supported the tobacco- free policies and 61.9% (n=727) of the schools had a policy restricting tobacco use within the school premises by personnel and students. However only 52.8% (n=370) of those with school policy reported complete enforcement of the school policy. A greater proportion of non-smokers than smokers were in support of a school policy (94.8% vs. 57.7%; p<0.05). Believing that teacher tobacco use influences student use (OR=8.9; 95% CI= 2.41- 33.47) and supporting increase in price of tobacco products (OR=6.4; 95% CI=1.34- 30.58) were significantly associated with support for policy. Those who supported school tobacco-free policy were also more likely to be of the opinion that tobacco industry should be allowed to sponsor school events (OR=4.4; 95% CI= 1.26- 15.23). CONCLUSIONS: Tobacco control interventions should promote personnel’s enforcement of the policies and raise awareness of Tobacco Industry Advertising Promotion and Sponsorship (TAPS) strategies. tm2015 em2026 School of Health Systems and Public Health (SHSPH) MPH Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-04: Quality education SDG-12: Responsible consumption and production SDG-17: Partnerships for the goals 2015-07-02T11:06:59Z 2015-07-02T11:06:59Z 2015/04/24 2015 Dissertation Wanyonyi, EN 2015, Factors associated with school personnel’s support for tobacco control policies in Ugandan schools during 2007 and 2011, MPH Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/46153> A2015 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/46153 en © 2015 University of Pretoria.
