Tobacco On Trial (TOT) is recommended for 5th or 6th grade students. TOT consists
of four class sessions lasting 45 to 50 minutes. It is recommended that
the four sessions be taught on consecutive school days, however they can
be spread out to as many as four weeks. This program focuses on tobacco
education, consequences of tobacco use, why people start, the power of
advertising, decision making, and alternatives to trouble.
Towards
No Tobacco Use (Project TNT) is a CDC approved program that was specifically
developed
for middle/junior high school youth (grades 5-8). Project TNT consists
of ten core sessions each lasting 45-50 minutes. These sessions were
written to be delivered over ten consecutive school days, although they
could be spread over as many as four weeks. The program’s main
emphasis is on changing normative beliefs and perceptions of prevalence
of use, and on teaching decision-making, effective communication, and refusal assertion skills.
