# EVALUATION OF SCHOOL-BASED SMOKING PREVENTION

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA · 1988 · $523,492

## Abstract

Long term followup of school based smoking prevention programs which appear
successful is essential.  Short term effects may fade over time and it is
even possible that programs which appear ineffective initially may prove
valuable in the long term.  At minimum, it is important to determine
whether the short term effects are maintained into adulthood.  The period
from high school to the mid twenties is also an important target for study
in its own right, with relatively little longitudinal data available on
smoking during this period of rapid social development.  This study seeks
to follow 7,000 students originally participating in seventh grade
prevention researches through the age of 25.  Three cohorts have
participated in three earlier studies since 1979.  Seventy percent of the
original cohorts are still in their original school districts and are still
the subject of ongoing study.  We plan to locate the thirty percent who
have left their original schools as well as those still active to obtain
locator data to permit annual tracking through 1993.  Telephone and in
person interviews will be used to monitor smoking and environmental and
psychosocial variables related to smoking.  The new data will be linked to
the existing four year data base for longitudinal evaluation of the earlier
prevention programs.  In addition the data will provide important new
information on the factors which influence smoking from high school
graduation through young adulthood.
