Detailed Description
The investigators will collaborate with Austin High School, Wiggs Middle School, and Guillen Middle School of the El Paso Independent School District to implement smoke free youth coalitions as an after school activity. The coalitions will follow the Teens Against Tobacco Use (TATU) model developed by the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society, and the American Heart Association. Participating youth will be trained to develop and deliver anti-tobacco presentations to younger students. Each school will have a separate youth coalition operating under the guidance of an adult coordinator. High school youth will present to middle school classes, whereas middle school youth will present to 4th and 5th graders.
To evaluate the efficacy of the smoke-free presentations, the investigators will first match pairs of classrooms willing to have a presentation and then randomly assign one classroom in each pair to either receive a series of two presentations first (intervention condition) or later in the school year (control condition). The day after each presentation to a classroom in the intervention condition, investigators will administer a brief survey about tobacco to students in both the intervention class and its matched control class, who have not yet received a presentation. Analyses will compare intervention and control classrooms on tobacco susceptibility.

Experimental: Intervention
Classes receive anti-tobacco presentations from Teens Against Tobacco Use members
|
Teens Against Tobacco Use teen teachers develop and then deliver anti-tobacco presentations to the target population of younger students.
|
No Intervention: Wait list control
Classes continue as usual without receiving anti-tobacco presentations from Teens Against Tobacco Use members until the end of the year, when data collection is complete.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in tobacco susceptibility at 24 hours as assessed by 10 likert scale items drawn primarily from the global youth tobacco survey
Time Frame: baseline and 24 hours
|
Tobacco susceptibility captures the likelihood of using tobacco in the future.
It is a continuous variable that will be standardized, so outcomes will represent standard deviation unit differences in tobacco susceptibility.
