- Indicator 1 - need for training dedicated to the youth to prevent their tobacco use based on 3 statements and scoring given for each statement from 1 = no, 2 = I do not know and 3 = yes (potential maximum 9 points; potential minimum 3 points) - the points were used as continuous variables to estimate the mean ranking for indicator
- Indicator 2 - knowledge and performed activities to teach the youth about tobacco use and its prevention (based on 3 statements and scoring given for each statement from 1 = no to 2 = yes (potential maximum 6 points; potential minimum 3 points) - the points were used as continuous variables to estimate the mean ranking for indicator
- β regression coefficients presented for each variable reflect their association with indicator 1 and 2 after adjustment for confounding from the other factors
