A Roadmap for Developing Effective Tobacco Education Materials
When created and used thoughtfully, tobacco education materials can play a key role in meeting your policy and communication goals.
Tobacco education materials can:
- educate and empower policymakers and their staffs;
- move communities to action;
- build coalitions;
- help recruit volunteers and advocates;
- facilitate the implementation of new policies;
- ensure strong compliance and enforcement;
- link smokers to cessation services;
- “brand” your project or campaign;
- convey a sense of professionalism and stability; and
- demonstrate your project’s cultural and linguistic sensitivity and spirit of inclusion.
