About this study
Official title: Efficacy of School-Based, Peer-Led Asthma and Smoking Prevention Program on CO1 Levels, Nicotine Dependence, and Smoking Behavior Among Early Adolescents in Jordan
Study Hypotheses:
- adolescents in intervention schools who are given Triple A program plus ASP will show more awareness in regards to cigarettee smoking health effects and less nicotine dependencethan those in the control schools who are given Triple A alone.
- adolescents with asthma in intervention schools who are given Triple A program plus ASP will show less asthma symptoms and better control than those in the control schools who are given Triple A alone.
- adolescent smokers and passive smokers will exhibit higher levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in their breath than those who are not active or passive smokers.
- there is a positive correlation between self-report questions regarding student smoking status and levels of CO in their breath
- Conditions
- Asthma, Tobacco, Waterpipe, Cigarettes
- Being tested

|---|---|---|
| Adolescent Asthma Action | Experimental | Adolescent Asthma Action in Jordan (TAJ) Plus the added class smoke free pledge will be implemented in high schools in Jordan and will be compared to the TAJ alone for its efficacy in decreasing smoking rates, lowering CO1 levela and nicotine dependence.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing TAJ Plus (Adolescent Asthma Action in Jordan) Plus the added class smoke free pledge in people with Asthma and Tobacco, run by University of Technology, Sydney.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
nicotine dependence level (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
