Abstract

This report focuses the extent to which four types of prevention education strategies measured in the 2000 National Youth Tobacco Survey are being impplemented in schools. It assess whether students believe that tobacco use prevention education programs contribute to their decision not to smoke. The report also compares attitudes and beliefs about smoking among those students who receive fewer smoking prevention education strategies to those who receive more. Furthermore, it determines association between smoking status and receipt of multiple prevention education strategies. Results from the 2000 NYTS suggest that multistrategy prevention education may be effective in reinforcing anitobacco attitudes and curbing youth smoking. Research supports implementation of multistrategy prevention programs because they can result in increased knowledge about tobacco use, positive attitutes about being a non-smoker, and overall decreased amounts of youth smoking.
