To address this, the N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund funded the Southern Regional Area Health Education Center<\/a> (SR-AHEC) to pilot a wellness and tobacco cessation curriculum originally developed by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey<\/a> at nine clubhouses<\/a> (voluntary, participatory day centers for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness) across the state. The $505,000 Breathe Easy, Live Well<\/a> program is being implemented from 2008 to 2011. The Tobacco Prevention and Evaluation Program assisted in the development of the program’s logic model and evaluation plan and independently conducts interviews with clubhouse staff and surveys of participating clubhouse members to evaluate the implementation of this pilot project.<\/p>\n Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n The Teen Initiative, funded by the NC Department of Health and Human Services, includes over 50 organizations working to educate young people about the dangers of tobacco use. TPEP conducts outcomes and programmatic evaluations for all components of the Teen Initiative to demonstrate the effectiveness of the initiative at reaching its desired outcomes, and to make recommendations for program improvement. <\/span><\/p>\n July 2009 to March 2010<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n January to March 2009<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n October to December 2008<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to September 2008<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n April to June 2008<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n January to March 2008<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to December 2007<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n January to March 2007<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n October to December 2006<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to September 2006<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n April to June 2006<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n January to March 2006<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n October to December 2005<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to September 2005<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n April to June 2005<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n January to March 2005<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n October to December 2004<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n July to December 2010<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to December 2007<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to December 2006<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n July to December 2005<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n January to June 2005<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Phase I Grants: April to September 2004 October 2003 to March 2004<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n April to September 2003<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n 2010 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2009 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2008 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2007 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2003-2006 Outcomes Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2005 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2004 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Technical Assistance 2005 Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Initiation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Secondhand Smoke<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cessation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Infrastructure<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n The Tobacco-Free Colleges Initiative works to prevent and reduce tobacco use among North Carolina young adults through the promotion of tobacco-free policies and cessation services on college campuses across the state.<\/p>\n TPEP conducts the outcomes evaluation for the Colleges Initiative. The purpose of the evaluation is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the initiative at reaching its desired outcomes, and to make recommendations for program improvement. The evaluation team is responsible for collecting baseline and monthly progress data from grantees using a web-based tracking system, as well as analyzing and disseminating results through the NC Tobacco-Free Colleges Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n Evaluation data have been used to report on the Initiative’s successes nationally at the American Public Health Association<\/a>, National Conference on Tobacco or Health<\/a>, NC Public Health Association<\/a>, and in Tobacco Control<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n For more information on the evaluation, contact the evaluation manager Joseph Lee (jose.lee.unc.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n In 2004 a tobacco use prevention television media campaign for youth called Tobacco.Reality.Unfiltered.<\/i> (TRU) was initiated to complement their community-based tobacco prevention and cessation programs. An on-going evaluation of the campaign is one of TPEP\u2019s current projects.<\/p>\n\n
