| dc.description.abstract | School dropouts are at heightened risk of tobacco use compared to in-school learners. School
dropouts are described as those not currently enrolled in school for the academic year, have not completed their
schooling, and are between 13 and 20 years old. This paper examines the relationship between reasons for leaving
school and past month cigarette smoking, taking into account gender differences.Multiple logistic regression was used to analyse survey data (n = 4185). Geographical location was also
incorporated into the analysis as effect moderators. | en_US |
