Project Towards No Tobacco Use (Project TNT) implemented school-based curricula effectively. The program demonstrated high implementation and positive process ratings, ensuring future behavioral outcome studies are reliable.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Education
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • Tobacco use prevention programs are crucial for adolescent health.
  • Social influences and knowledge gaps contribute to tobacco use initiation.
  • Comprehensive programs require effective curriculum design and delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation, process, and immediate knowledge outcomes of Project Towards No Tobacco Use (Project TNT).
  • To assess four distinct school-based tobacco prevention curricula targeting social and knowledge-based influences.
  • To compare program schools receiving curricula with control schools receiving standard health education.

Main Methods:

  • Developed four curricula addressing normative, informational, and knowledge-based tobacco use acquisition variables.

  • Delivered curricula to seventh graders by trained health educators in 48 southern California junior high schools.
  • Employed a randomized experiment comparing five conditions (four program, one control) with systematic and asystematic health education.

    • Main Results:

    • Documented high levels of curriculum implementation across all program conditions.
    • Obtained favorable process ratings from students, health educators, and teachers.
    • Demonstrated discriminant validity in post-test knowledge across all five conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Project TNT achieved high implementation and positive process evaluations.
    • The curricula were discriminable yet similar in delivery, minimizing confounds for future behavioral studies.
    • Findings support the program's foundation for reliable investigation of behavioral outcomes in tobacco prevention.
