# HUTCHINSON SMOKING PREVENTION PROJECT

## Abstract

This proposal is a renewal of CA 38269. This research project is years
06-10 of the Hutchinson Smoking Prevention Project (HSPP), an ongoing,
statewide Phase IV prevention study with long-term objective to
rigorously test in a realistic setting the effectiveness and practicality
of a multicomponent school-based grade 3-10 smoking prevention
intervention in reducing smoking prevalence in children in the elementary
and junior high years and maintaining the reduced prevalence throughout
and beyond high school. The intervention includes components aimed at the
early preparatory stage of smoking onset, and is sustained throughout the
entire period of adolescent smoking onset.

A large long-term randomized trial begun in 1984, HSPP is a peer-reviewed
and funded part of the NCI's Smoking, Tobacco and Cancer Program. The
study population is 8,402 children in 40 geographically and
demographically diverse school districts in the state of Washington. With
the school district as the unit of intervention, two consecutive cohorts
in each of 20 experimental and 20 control school districts are being
followed for endpoint determination throughout and beyond high school.

Specific aims in years 06-10 are the completion of implementation of the
grade 3-10 intervention in all 20 experimental school districts,
completion of endpoint data collection for the grade 5, grade 7, and
grade 9 endpoints, and evaluation of the two-year (grade 5) and four-year
(grade 7) impact of the intervention.

This research project will provide an assessment of the effectiveness and
practicality of a realisiic grade-sequential school-based smoking
prevention intervention integrated into the regular school curriculum.
Cost-effectiveness analyses will contribute to the assessment of
practicality.

This project is conducted within the-Cancer Prevention Research Progrm of
the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in collaboration with the
University of Washington. It has been subjected to and passed the Program
review procedures.
