Dataset from two pilot studies: the effect of emotional and motivational factors on peer support in context of adolescent smoking cessation program, evidence from Indonesia

Abstract

Background: This study examines the effect of emotional and motivational factors on peer support in the context of adolescent smoking using datasets from two pilot studies. Although there are studies available on adolescent smoking cessation, only a few have focused on developing classroom-based prevention programs.   Methods: Two datasets from each pilot study were collected using an online survey technique (n=102). Data were collected using convenience sampling from grade 11 high school students in Palembang, the capital city of South Sumatera province, Indonesia. We used descriptive statistics to explore the phenomenon in classroom settings in study I (n=31), and logistic regression to predict peer support in study II (n=71).   Results: This dataset contains preliminary findings regarding peer support in the context of adolescent smoking. We discovered through descriptive statistics that student opinions and reactions regarding cigarette products and smoking are diverse. In addition, an associative study revealed that emotional and motivational factors have a substantial effect on peer support.  Conclusions: There are no publicly available datasets that employ emotional and motivational factors affecting peer support in classroom settings, making the dataset unique. In addition, the dataset included in this brief report can be utilized to develop school-based smoking cessation programs for adolescents.
