Prevalence and associated factors of adolescent tobacco use in three Sub-Saharan African countries: A comparative analysis of national cross-sectional surveys.
Researchers surveyed over 18,000 young people aged 10-17 across three African countries and found that tobacco use varied significantly by location (ranging from 2.5% to 11.9%), with higher rates among boys, older teens, and working youth. School enrollment and having both parents alive were protective factors, though the relationship with parental education differed across countries.
