Select View Image Evaluation Toolkit for Smoke-Free Policies Description: Increasing numbers of states are enacting laws making indoor workplaces and public places smoke-free (i.e., prohibiting smoking in these venues). Once these laws are passed, they typically take effect within months. State tobacco prevention programs are usually asked by state officials to assess the effects and impact of these laws and report on their findings. These programs often turn to the CDC Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) for technical assistance in designing these studies. This resource is intended for use by OSH project officers and evaluation staff in providing technical assistance to state programs. It is designed to ensure that OSH staff provide standardized, high-quality technical assistance on this topic and to streamline the technical assistance process and make it more efficient. The resource could also be used by state program staff to provide technical assistance to community public health programs or coalitions that approach state programs asking for help in evaluating local smoke-free laws. The resource provides an overview of types of studies that can be conducted and describes several issues for state programs to consider in deciding which studies are most suitable and feasible for their situation. The resource draws on published studies and actual state experiences to present practical evaluation approaches that will yield valid, reliable data in a timely fashion at reasonable cost.  Also available in PDF format.   View Image Tabaquismo y salud en las Americas - Informe de la Cirujana General, 1992, en colaboracion con la Organizacion Panamericana de la Salud This publishing milestone, developed by the Pan American Health Organization, provides a country-by-country analysis of smoking prevalence and prevention efforts.
