Sammanfattning

The aim of the study was to explore medical students’ experiences as health educators in an alcohol, narcotics and tobacco prevention programme for high-school students in Sweden. Nine medical voluntary students were interviewed based on a semi-structured topic guide. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis based on an adapted model of the McGuire communication-behaviour model. The overall theme was identified as communicating medical knowledge to counterbalance ANT-consumption, and three categories were defined: Health education as preventive measure, controlling factors influencing the goal of the session, and medical students as health educators. Health education is a complex task, where the ­medical student’s credibility, flexibility and capacity to contextualise the message appears to contribute to the success of the communication, as well as the high-school students’ background and characteristics.
