This file contains data collected through the pre-test student smoking behaviour questionnaire given to grade seven students prior to the commencement of the PAL pilot study. It is one of seven files of student data which were used in the evaluation of the pilot study of the Peer Assisted Learning Smoking Prevention Program (PAL program). The study was to measure the attractiveness, durability, ease of use and reading level of the PAL resource material; in addition, it was to determine the strength and weaknesses of the PAL process and to assess the impact of the PAL program, over the short term, on stabilizing smoking prevalence. This particular survey provides information about province and school where survey was conducted; smoking information for Grade 7 students (aged 11-13); demographic structure of household; frequency of smoking activity; abstinance information; perceptions of other people and their smoking behaviour; use of chewing tobacco; teacher smoking characteristics; school programs and policy regarding smoking; smoking behaviour of best friend; peer pressure and smoking behaviour.
