Description
Logesh Sidhu and four co-authors evaluate a tobacco control program among transgender people in Puducherry, India, in this 2024 study. The national program's local effort ran two awareness sessions with printed materials and recreational activities. Fifty-two members of a local organization took part, and the team measured attitudes and nicotine dependence before the program and again at three months.
By the follow-up, more participants had moved into the stages of thinking about quitting or preparing to quit. Scores on a standard nicotine dependence scale had also fallen over the three months. The authors read the shift as a real change in outlook, not just in knowledge. They present the sessions plus steady follow-up as a workable way to help a group that tobacco programs often overlook.
