Description
In 2002, pilot research was conducted in partnership with RTI International, an independent nonprofit research institute in North Carolina, using How To Have a Habit in a school curriculum to raise awareness of the dangers of second hand tobacco smoke. With the participation of approximately 750 fourth and fifth grade students in northern Georgia, followup surveys indicated that 71% of the children discussed indoor tobacco smoke information with their parents. Following participation, 28% of the students indicated that their home changed to smoke free and 32% said that someone had stopped smoking in the car.
