Abstract

Project ASPIRE is an interactive computer-assisted technology designed to decrease smoking initiation among English- and Spanish-speaking students. Sixteen high schools were randomized to ASPIRE or standard-care. At 18-months follow-up, smoking initiation rates were lower in ASPIRE participants than controls. Project CASA was designed to reduce secondhand smoke (SHS) among Mexican-Americans through increased knowledge/awareness. Ninety-one households were randomly assigned into a fotonovela-based intervention or pamphlet-based standard care group. At the end of study, SHS exposure was lower among intervention households than controls. The use of these evidence-based resources offers potential for expanded tobacco control.
