Background Smokeless tobacco (SLT) use, particularly gutkha, is prevalent in India, with cultural acceptance contributing to widespread use, especially among tribal populations. Despite awareness programs, there is limited assessment of their effectiveness, leading to continued vulnerability, even among educated groups. This study aims to evaluate public health strategies by developing and validating the SLT Awareness, Attitude, and Response Knowledge (STAARK) scale, which assesses knowledge and attitudes post-awareness programs on SLT usage through questionnaires, identifying vulnerable individuals, and enabling targeted interventions to reduce SLT use and associated health risks, particularly through integrated risk assessment (IRA).
