Evidence-based elementary school tobacco use curriculums – 1/3/06

Q: What proven and research-effective program(s) have states initiated/established as an elementary school-based curriculum to address tobacco use initiation in 3rd-5th grade student age groups? And, if these have been established at the state level for a period of time, could the specific state data supporting effectiveness be given?

A:

  1. Ohio: Ohio hasn't pushed it, but the only evidence-based prevention program that I am aware of is the Upper Elementary Life Skills Training curriculum. It's for grades 3/4, 4/5, and 5/6 depending on how the schools are divided in the district.
