DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to prevent the onset and reduce the prevalence of tobacco use among adolescents in India. There are three specific aims of the project. 1) To conduct a randomized, multi component, community intervention trial in 4 cities and 56 schools in India, focusing on preventing the onset and reducing the prevalence of tobacco use among adolescents in grades 6-9, using an updated Project Health Related Information Dissemination Among Youth (HRIDAY) intervention. 2) To increase the capacity of researchers in India to conduct large scale behavioral interventions, including applying behavioral theories in intervention design, developing valid and reliable measures, conducting thorough process evaluation, tracking a large number of students over time, and analyzing data using appropriate methods for group randomized trials. 3) To increase the capacity of school students, school staff and community members to conduct effective tobacco control to reduce adolescent tobacco use. Two large cities (Delhi and Chennai) and two middle-sized towns (Indore and Bhubaneswar) will be recruited. Within cities, 12-16 schools will be selected, matched, and randomly assigned to one of two conditions: the Project HRIDAY multi component intervention or delayed intervention program (control). The Project HRIDAY condition involves classroom based behavioral curricula in grades 6-9, parental education, media advocacy, peer leadership, and community linkage programs. The delayed program condition will receive intervention programs and training in Year 5 of the study. All intervention materials will be developed by the investigators based on prior research. The interventions will be evaluated with two cohort samples of young adolescents over two years. The cohorts will be in grades 6 and 8 in each of the 56 schools at pretest. Outcomes with adults will be measured using interviews with a sample of adults in the neighborhoods near the schools. Process measures will assess teacher compliance and feedback, peer participation and perceptions, and implementation of the parent, media, and community components. Capacity building will be accomplished through an extended seminar at the University of Minnesota; face to face meetings among the investigators; training sessions with community coordinators, community facilitators from local non government organizations, teachers and peer leaders; and a dissemination workshop with representatives from all states and territories in India.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目标是预防印度青少年吸烟并减少其流行率。该项目有三个具体目标。 1) 使用更新的健康相关信息传播项目，在印度 4 个城市和 56 所学校开展一项随机、多组成部分的社区干预试验，重点是预防 6-9 年级青少年烟草使用的发生和流行率青年（HRIDAY）干预。 2）提高印度研究人员进行大规模行为干预的能力，包括在干预设计中应用行为理论，制定有效可靠的措施，进行彻底的过程评估，长期跟踪大量学生，并使用适当的方法分析数据分组随机试验的方法。 3) 提高学生、学校工作人员和社区成员进行有效控烟的能力，以减少青少年烟草使用。将招募两个大城市（德里和钦奈）和两个中型城镇（印多尔和布巴内斯瓦尔）。在城市内，12-16 所学校将被选择、匹配并随机分配到以下两个条件之一：HRIDAY 项目多成分干预或延迟干预计划（对照）。 HRIDAY 项目的条件包括 6-9 年级基于课堂的行为课程、家长教育、媒体宣传、同伴领导和社区联系计划。延迟计划的情况将在研究的第 5 年接受干预计划和培训。所有干预材料将由研究人员根据先前的研究开发。干预措施将通过两年多的青少年的两组样本进行评估。参加预测试的 56 所学校的学生均为 6 年级和 8 年级。成年人的结果将通过对学校附近社区的成年人样本进行访谈来衡量。流程措施将评估教师的依从性和反馈、同伴参与和看法以及家长、媒体和社区组成部分的实施。将通过在明尼苏达大学举办的扩展研讨会来完成能力建设；调查人员之间进行面对面的会议；与社区协调员、当地非政府组织的社区协调员、教师和同伴领袖一起举办培训课程；以及由来自印度各邦和地区的代表参加的传播研讨会。
