Abstract

Smoking initiation disproportionately affects certain population groups, including adolescents experiencing societal vulnerability. Co-creation, an innovative approach, contributes to developing tailored interventions that address smoking initiation disparities. For this study, a smoking prevention intervention was co-created with adolescents and youth workers from two youth social work organisations. This paper analyses the perspectives of participants engaged in this co-creation process.
