DESCRIPTION: This project will develop a Community Kit for Tobacco Prevention and Control that is congruent with the unique culture of Appalachia, a region where one in 12 Americans lives. This region has a high rate of tobacco use and tobacco-related health problems. In its Phase I research, Toborg Associates developed criteria to measure the cultural relevance of materials to prevent and control tobacco use in the region. It collected materials in use across the region, and analyzed and applied the cultural criteria to them. Based upon these analyses and comments in focus groups, staff determined that the region lacks culturally congruent materials for tobacco prevention and control. The firm seeks to develop a culturally congruent kit that uses the focal role of women in the Appalachian family as the access point. It will develop materials that use appropriate images and messages to empower women to prevent tobacco use among their children, encourage women to prevent secondhand smoke at home, and assist them to discuss cessation of tobacco use with husbands and other family members. Toborg Associates will conduct rigorous experiments that test hypotheses related to the effects of the materials and finalize the kit by the end of the grant.

描述：该项目将开发一个社区烟草预防和控制工具包，与阿巴拉契亚地区的独特文化相一致，阿巴拉契亚地区是每12个美国人中就有一个居住的地区。该区域的烟草使用率和与烟草有关的健康问题很高。在其第一阶段的研究中，Toborg Associates制定了衡量材料的文化相关性的标准，以防止和控制该地区的烟草使用。它收集了整个地区使用的材料，并分析并将文化标准应用于这些材料。根据这些分析和在重点小组中的评论，工作人员确定该区域缺乏文化上一致的烟草预防和控制材料。该公司寻求开发一种文化契合的工具包，将阿巴拉契亚家庭中女性的核心角色作为接入点。它将开发使用适当的图像和信息的材料，以增强妇女的能力，以防止其子女使用烟草，鼓励妇女在家中防止二手烟，并协助她们与丈夫和其他家庭成员讨论停止烟草使用。Toborg Associates将进行严格的实验，测试与材料效果相关的假设，并在拨款结束前敲定试剂盒。
