Tobacco Prevention, Intervention & Cessation Curriculum Programs
The Norwalk-La Mirada Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program is a comprehensive initiative that the California Department of Education spearheads to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use among young people. The program adopts a research-driven approach that is anchored on curriculum-driven programs, hands-on activities, and educational instruction to prevent or stem the use of tobacco products by students.
The program relies on a team of well-trained teachers in each middle and high school, who are dedicated to the cause of reducing the number of students using tobacco and nicotine products. The results of this initiative have been remarkable, with a significant decline in the prevalence of tobacco and nicotine use among students recorded in the target schools.
Overall, the Norwalk-La Mirada Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program is a testament to the power of well-designed educational initiatives that leverage research-based programs to tackle real-world problems.
