Essential Elements of School‐Based Smoking Prevention Programs

Glynn, Thomas J.·1989·Journal of School Health

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The current status of adolescent tobacco use in the United States is discussed in the context of the identification of those elements considered necessary for successful school‐based smoking prevention programs. Also described are the conclusions of a National Cancer Institute‐convened expert advisory panel charged with the task of addressing: What are the essential elements of a school‐based smoking prevention program? The panel focused on nine areas in which sufficient data and experience existed to reach a preliminary conclusion or make a recommendation. The nine areas are: program impact, focus, context, and length; ideal age at intervention; need for peer and parental involvement; teacher training; and program implementation. The panel concluded U.S. school‐based smoking prevention programs have had consistently positive effects, though these effects have been modest and often limited to delaying the onset of tobacco use. Though the panel felt many programs are suitable for dissemination, several research recommendations also are described.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
