| Abstract: |
The article presents information on the curricula contents, and presents data to evaluate the implementation, process and immediate post-test knowledge of Project Towards No Tobacco Use. It highlights the development of four different school-based tobacco use prevention curricula. The main project objective is to attempt to determine which, from among the three most common components of current comprehensive social influences programming, is the most effective in preventing use of tobacco-containing products. Cigarette smoking prevention programs that focus on teaching strategies to counteract social influences have been successful in reducing the onset of adolescent smoking by as much as 50% 3 years post-program. |
