Policy advocacy is increasingly recognized as a crucial component of the training provided to health educators but relatively few universities offer advocacy training as part of their professional preparation programs for health educators. Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) represent a natural setting for creating strong Black leaders in tobacco policy advocacy. This case study focuses on experiential education at an HBCU to develop advocacy skills around tobacco issues among Black college students. The authors describe the structure and content of two tobacco policy courses, their efforts to evaluate these courses, and the lessons they learned planning and conducting them. They believe their experience can prove useful to others developing curricula for teaching policy advocacy skills to health education students.
政策倡导日益被视为健康教育工作者培训的关键组成部分，但相对较少的大学将倡导培训作为其健康教育工作者专业预备课程的一部分。历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）是培养强大的烟草政策倡导方面黑人领导者的天然场所。本案例研究聚焦于一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的体验式教育，以培养黑人大学生围绕烟草问题的倡导技能。作者描述了两门烟草政策课程的结构和内容、评估这些课程的努力，以及他们在规划和开展这些课程中学到的经验教训。他们认为自己的经验可能对其他为健康教育专业学生开发政策倡导技能教学课程的人有用。
