From the author: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's School Guidelines to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addiction were developed, in part, to assist state and local education agencies in adopting and implementing effective school-based tobacco prevention and cessation programs. This project assessed state education agency awareness of and reaction to the Guidelines, and documented efforts to disseminate the Guidelines to local schools. Key informants in 15 state education agencies were interviewed. Respondents reported a fairly high level of receptivity to the Guidelines, numerous benefits and few barriers, and high commitment. Levels of use for the Guidelines varied. Dissemination strategies such as mass mailing or teleconferences are not sufficient to influence the use and integration of Guidelines for school health. The diffusion process requires planned change over time through numerous communication channels and should be monitored at the national, state, and local levels to assess effectiveness and impact. (J Sch Health. 1998;68(2):43-45)
