Kommuners tillsyn av rökfria skolgårdar- En innehållsanalys av kommuners inspektionsrapporter

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is to prevent smoking from happening and to check how the school works to end smoking. By conducting a content analysis of 18 inspection reports on non-smoking school yards from 6 municipalities in Sweden and examining public documents, it was examined how often and how municipalities exercise supervision and if they differ depending on climate zone. The supervision of non-smoking schools differs between commands while the government wants coordinated, effective and equivalent supervision. This is something that is not met at this time. What is the best way to exercise supervision is not investigated in this study, but it appears that supervision is not coordinated or equivalent between municipalities. This is something that needs to be developed if Sweden is to reach ANDT's goals in 2016-2020 and become a non-smoking country in 2025.
