Adolescent smoking rates remain high and the use of smokeless tobacco is increasing, especially among males. Despite this continuing public health problem and the recent development of more effective prevention programs, few adolescents now participate in such programs at school. Recent legislation in Minnesota established guidelines for tobacco-use prevention programming and provides financial incentives to school districts to use more effective methods. The Minnesota-Wisconsin Adolescent Tobacco-Use Research Project has implemented an evaluation design that will provide data on the efficacy of this statewide approach to the prevention of tobacco use among adolescents. This article describes the current state of tobacco-use prevention programming in Minnesota schools, current efforts to improve on that record, and the research design set up to evaluate these strategies.
青少年吸烟率仍然很高，无烟烟草的使用正在增加，尤其是在男性中。尽管这一公共卫生问题持续存在，且最近开发了更有效的预防项目，但现在很少有青少年在学校参与此类项目。明尼苏达州最近的立法为烟草使用预防规划制定了指导方针，并为学区提供财政激励措施，以促使其采用更有效的方法。明尼苏达-威斯康星青少年烟草使用研究项目实施了一项评估设计，该设计将提供有关这种全州范围内预防青少年烟草使用方法有效性的数据。本文描述了明尼苏达州学校烟草使用预防规划的现状、当前为改善这一记录所做的努力，以及为评估这些策略而设立的研究设计。
