Abstract

The purpose of quasi-experimental research is to study the effects of the potential development of knowledge and smoking refusal skills among elementary school students of Innovation Demonstration School as a sample of 71 students by purposive sampling. The research instruments include: 1) the potential development among elementary school students, 2) test of knowledge about harm of cigarette, and 3) assessment of refusal skills when persuaded to try smoking. The data are analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Paired t-test.

The research results show after the experiment that elementary school students have knowledge about harm of cigarette and refusal skills when persuaded to try smoking, which are significantly higher than before the experiment (p < .05).
