Objectives:
We examine whether state educational standards regarding tobacco correspond with teacher reports of classroom instruction.
Methods:
We test this relation with data on tobacco use prevention standards, reports of middle and high school teachers from the 2008 and 2010 School Health Profiles study, and logistic regression models.
Results:
State education standards are significantly related to increased likelihood of a lead health education teacher in that state reporting that the specific topic was taught in the school. These relationships are stronger for middle school teachers than for high school teachers.
Conclusions:
Associations between state standards and teacher reports of actual instruction are consistent with education standards influencing the teaching of these health education topics.
