What is it all about?

Swiss Olympic's cool and clean prevention program is part of the Tobacco Prevention Fund's (TPF) Children and Youth Program (KJP). It supports coaches in promoting the life skills of young people. The cool and clean code of conduct, to which the leaders commit together with the young people, includes the commitment «I abstain from tobacco».

• Code of conduct

So far, however, the activities of cool and clean have not addressed the individual realities of juniors. As a result, the previous nicotine prevention measures may have missed the individual needs of the juniors and were therefore less effective or even rejected. On behalf of the TPF, the Institut Public Health ZHAW Department of Health has already identified five segments of young people with regard to tobacco prevention (rpoject REACH - Target group profiles in tobacco prevention).

The five profiles are now being used to specifically address juniors in sports clubs based on their motives with regard to their nicotine consumption. The results of the current online survey are now being used for this purpose,

• Training videos for trainers, a
• Social media campaign for the junior:inside and
• Measures at suitable touchpoints in your club.

Data protection: Is my data protected?

Your answers in the questionnaire are collected and evaluated anonymously. This means that we do not ask for your name or exact date of birth. Only the study team has access to the data, which is stored on a password-protected server. In addition, all evaluations are based on aggregated data. This means, for example, that all girls, all those who like to jog or all 14-year-olds are considered as groups, so that no conclusions can be drawn about individual persons.

Your details for the prize draw will be kept separately. We cannot link the answers to the questionnaire with the address data as the code is not saved.

Health is not that difficult! Here are a few tips for your everyday life:

Stress reduction

• Take a deep breath, stretch or go for a walk/exercise to focus on something else and get away from negative feelings.
• Learning and practicing relaxation methods (e.g. autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation or yoga).
• Building up resources through satisfying experiences (e.g. doing something with friends, going to a concert, physical activity) and social support (e.g. maintaining contacts).

More movement

• Walk to work/school, cycle or get off the bus or streetcar a few stops earlier.
• Stay on the streetcar or bus or stand up and offer your seat to an older person, for example.
• Be physically active after sedentary working hours: e.g. go for a walk, do sport, garden, shop, cook, keep house.

Stop smoking

• Set yourself a date when you want to stop.
• Get down to business: give up smoking completely from day one. This will cost you less energy than gradually cutting down.
• Replace smoking with exercise and small activities in between.
