Preventing Tobacco Use Among Youth

Course developed by Pamela Petersen-Baston, CAP, CAPP.

Each year over 400,000 Americans die prematurely from smoking-related illness--more deaths than those caused by suicide, homicide, automobile fatalities, alcohol, illicit drugs, and HIV/AIDS combined. While adult tobacco use has been declining, tobacco use among youth has increased. This course is designed to offer general guidance in the planning and implementation of community-based strategies for the prevention of tobacco use among youth. Community groups and practitioners can modify this plan according to their target populations/communities, available resources, and intervention time frames.
