DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is estimated that each year, one million children start smoking in the United States (Khuder, Dayal, and Mutgi 1999), with most children initiating the habit during early adolescence (Khuder et al. 1999; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS)1992). Since tobacco attitudes and behaviors develop during childhood and adolescence, prevention programs targeting youth during this time period are imperative (Beaglehold et al. 1978; O'Connell et al. 1981). Research indicates that approaches recognizing both social influences to smoke and misperceptions of peer normative behavior are the most effective in reducing tobacco use among youth (Dusenbury and Falco 1995; USDHHS 2001). During the past decade, various agencies and researchers have developed recommendations to assist educational settings in delivering tobacco prevention messages to both children and adolescents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addiction are a prime example of these recommendations. Unfortunately, despite these recommendations, few schools are implementing programs that meet each of the CDC's criteria (Surgeon General Report 2000; Wenter et al. 2002). Danya International, Inc., proposes to develop and evaluate a multifaceted smoking prevention product that includes all seven CDC guidelines designed to educate middle school students about the social influences of smoking. The content, format, and design process will draw from the state-of-the-art research findings and will emphasize a social marketing approach to facilitate prevention efforts in an educational setting. Youth will be involved in the development and production of the proposed smoking prevention intervention.

描述（由申请人提供）：据估计，每年，一百万儿童开始在美国开始吸烟（Khuder，Dayal和Mutgi 1999），大多数儿童在青春期早期开始习惯（Khuder等，1999;美国卫生与人类服务部（USDHHS）1992年）。由于烟草态度和行为在儿童和青春期期间发展，因此在此期间针对青年的预防计划是势在必行的（Beaglehold等，1978； O'Connell等，1981）。 研究表明，认识到社会对烟雾的影响和对同伴规范行为的误解的方法最有效地减少了青年的烟草使用（Dusenbury and Falco 1995； USDHHS 2001）。 在过去的十年中，各种机构和研究人员都提出了建议，以帮助教育环境向儿童和青少年传达烟草预防信息。这些建议的疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）指南，以防止烟草使用和成瘾。 不幸的是，尽管有这些建议，但很少有学校正在实施符合疾病预防控制中心标准的计划（外科医生总报告2000； Wonder等，2002）。 Danya International，Inc。建议开发和评估多方面的预防吸烟产品，其中包括所有七种CDC指南，旨在教育中学生关于吸烟的社会影响。内容，格式和设计过程将从最先进的研究结果中汲取灵感，并将强调一种社会营销方法，以促进在教育环境中预防工作。年轻人将参与拟议的预防干预措施的开发和生产。
