Tobacco Smoke & Cardiovascular Disease: PICO Analysis

This presentation explores the relationship between tobacco smoke and cardiovascular disease among young adults aged 16-24, utilizing the PICO framework to structure the analysis. It begins by identifying the research area, population of interest, and relevant health promotion activities, particularly awareness programs aimed at reducing smoking. The PICO framework focuses on young adults, the impact of awareness programs (intervention) compared to non-intervened groups, and the desired outcome of decreased smoking rates. Literature review highlights the effectiveness of educational programs and governmental regulations in curbing smoking habits. Key research questions include the efficacy of educational programs, the correlation between smoking and heart disease, and the impact of smoking regulations. Alternative terms are provided for population, intervention, and outcomes to broaden the scope of the research. This presentation aims to provide insights into strategies for reducing smoking rates and improving cardiovascular health among young adults.

• My public health area of interest is: To identify ways in which tobacco smoke lead cardiovascular disease
among young adults.

• Health promotion activities: There are number of programs and studies have been conducted for making
young adults aware regarding side effects of tobacco smoke. One of the best program is: Health Matters:
Stopping Smoking.

LITERATURE REVIEW
• As per the view of McKelvey, Baiocchi and Halpern-Felsher, (2018) educational awareness program is one of
the best strategy that can decrease smoking rate as young adults came to know about side effects of tobacco
smoke by attending such programs. Benjamin and et.al., (2019) stated that young adults or people who smoke
to the great extent are more likely to face heart problems Tadesse and Zawdie, (2019) also stated that some
governmental regulations like not to smoke in public, higher tax can also decrease smoking rate. Overall, it
can be said that educational programs and governmental regulations as well as interventions can be beneficial
as it can decrease smoking habits among young adults.

• Can educational awareness program decrease smoking rate among young adults?
• Is there high chance of getting affected with heart disease by smoking?
• Can smoking regarding regulations can be effective in decreasing smoking habits among young adults of
UK?
