Description
Abstract
The purpose of the contract is to support youth tobacco prevention efforts across the state
through: 1) peer-to-peer prevention and education sessions; 2) professional development
opportunities; 3) communication and outreach with community and school partners; 4) and the
development of a network of youth and young adults engaged in tobacco prevention and
advocacy. We will also translate and disseminate information through data collection,
interpretation, written reports, regular e-newsletters, and social media outreach. Our peer-to-
peer program, #iCANendthetrend, has already reached 19,000 Kentucky youth and as the
landscape of tobacco prevention changes, we are able to adapt our lessons and engagement
strategies to support prevention efforts. We will provide training, technical assistance, and
continual follow-up for all youth and young adult facilitators. Collecting real time process
evaluation data supports our efforts to remain relevant, connect with state and national health
education standards, and report back to partnering organizations. In addition, we will continue to
develop a network of youth and young adults engaged in tobacco prevention and advocacy
throughout Kentucky through our Youth Advisory Board.
