THE NON-SMOKING YEAR-GROUP

The objective was to concentrate on influencing an entire age-group of 58.000 children during a period of six years into staying non-smokers. The project was started in autumn 1989 when the children were around the age of 10.

The basic concept was that at least once a year for six years the children/teenagers would receive various material adapted to the relevant school form and age, which should provide them with tools to reject smoking as a part of their future life-styles.

The project has finished. Three surveys based on questionnaires among children and teachers have been carried out during the project, and final report is about to be made. The presentation will describe the project and the results of the evaluation based on the surveys.
