Khanitta Saeiew (English) - Global Community Health Workshop 2025

Mobilizing Community Stakeholders for E-Cigarette Prevention via Participatory Policy Tools Summary: The National Health Commission Office (NHCO) of Thailand promotes participatory policy tools as a cornerstone of improving community health and health system. Through tools such as Health System Charters and Health Assemblies, NHCO empowers local stakeholders—including schools, families, and local governments—to co-develop responsive policies. A key example is the prevention of e-cigarette use among youth, a growing public health concern. Although e-cigarettes are illegal in Thailand, increasing usage in schools has prompted the development of School Health System Charters and a National Specific Health Assembly on this issue. NHCO’s participatory policy platforms ensure multisectoral engagement—linking education, public health, and civil society—in both policy formulation and implementation. This approach reflects Thailand’s broader health governance model, which emphasizes community-based health promotion and participation, early prevention, and the right to health. By embedding participatory tools into national and local health systems, NHCO strengthens efforts not only in E-Cigarette o control but also in building long-term, inclusive, and community-driven health resilience.
