# SMOKING PREVENTION--KNOW YOUR BODY PROGRAM

> **NIH NIH R01** · INSTITUTE FOR CANCER PREVENTION · 1988 · $745,754

## Abstract

The general objective of this research is to evaluate the relative
effectiveness of different approaches to implementing a promising
school-based smoking prevention program.  The program will be tested in a
longitudinal field study of a defined population of children utilizing an
experimental research design.  The intervention program is the Smoking
Prevention Component (SPC) of the Know Your Body School Health Education
Program (KYB).  The Know Your Body Program is a multicomponent, school
health education program which emphasizes positive lifestyle change through
decision making skills and self-responsibility.  The focus of KYB is the
prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.  In addition to impact,
process and outcome evaluations of the KYB/SPC intervention, a
comprehensive cost-efficiency evaluation of different intervention
approaches will be carried out.  Specifically, two different approaches
will be compared in terms of program efectiveness and cost-efficiency:

a) The Smoking Prevention Component embedded within the multicomponent KYB
Program (the KYB/SPC approach)

b) the SPC as a stand-alone intervention, without the other components of
KYB (the SPC approach)

In addition, a highly controlled substudy has been incorporated into the
basis research design.  This substudy will involve the development and
pilot testing of an enhanced parental involvement program to be evaluated
in conjunction with the KYB/SPC program and with the SPC alone.
