Tobacco Database

Local Tobacco Prevention and Control Program Database

The Local Tobacco Prevention and Control Program Database is a compilation of tobacco prevention and control programs collected from local health departments. The information housed in the database may not reflect the current programmatic activities of local health departments, but it provides examples of activities that other agencies can use.

 

The database complements NACCHO's Program and Funding Guidelines for Comprehensive Local Tobacco Control Programs. The guidelines help local health departments and their community partners structure efforts around the seven components of a local, comprehensive tobacco control program recommended by NACCHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

The seven program components are:

  1. Community programs
  2. School programs
  3. Counter-marketing
  4. Cessation
  5. Enforcement
  6. Surveillance
  7. Evaluation

 

The database also identifies common activities within the seven components, including:

  • Youth advocacy;
  • Health disparities;
  • Secondhand smoke;
  • Smoke-free restaurants;
  • Ordinances;
  • Youth access;
  • Coalition membership; and
  • Coalition leadership roles.

 

Using the Database

Click on the "Enter Database" link and search either by state or program component. Then, select the state or program component of interest, and the database will produce a list of programs, providing the components each program addresses, contact information, an overview, and lessons learned.

 

Expanding the Database

We want to hear from you. NACCHO members are interested in learning more about the work you are doing in tobacco prevention and control in your communities. If you would like to share information about your program, please visit our Model Practice Database.
