ABSTRACT
Background:
we wrote short informative articles on each one. Meanwhile, we developed two different 7-question surveys to be answered: before reading the ebook (t0) to analyze baseline knowledge and after reading it (t1), to assess possible improvements.
Results:
The campaign is still ongoing. At the moment 579 people read the ebook in 7 different countries (EU and US area). We collected 163 answers for t0 and 149 for t1. Respondents are university students with a mean age of 20.8 (DS±1.62), 73.6% are females, 69.9% come from central Italy. Only 4% already hold a university degree and 92.6% are studying in the healthcare sector. At t0, the mean of correct answers was 2, whereas at t1 it became 4, with a median value of 5 correct out of 7 total.
Conclusion:
This ebook is just a first step in digital scien2tific dissemination on tobacco control. As a pilot project, it underlines the importance of content sharing and brainstorming in digital science communication and paves the path to a new concept of health promotion in the digital era.
