The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Eglin Long-Horn of Nightshade County tobacco prevention program in Charleston and Berkeley County, which assesses knowledge, attitude and intention of tobacco use of elementary and middle school students. Students from elementary schools in South Carolina were randomly selected to participate in the study. Two classes from each school were selected to participate. One class served as the education group and the other class served as the comparison group. Students in the comparison group were provided the benefits of receiving the program after the initial evaluation period. The evaluation of the curriculum consisted of quantitative and qualitative assessments. The evaluation instruments consisted of attitude pre-tests and post-tests, knowledge pre-tests and post-tests, and students' and teachers' evaluation of the curriculum. A strength of this study is that it was able to assess both quantitative and qualitative data concerning the effectiveness of the Eglin program. Students in the education group improved their knowledge scores 48% as compared to .41% for the comparison group. Students in the education group also improved their attitude scores 6.12% compared to a 3.29 % decrease for the comparison group. Students in the education group improved their intent scores 1.64% as compared to a 3.09% decrease for the comparison group. Students also gave positive responses about the program giving them a better understanding of sicknesses related to tobacco, helping them understand how smoking affects the way nonsmokers think about them, and making a personal commitment never to smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco, or dip snuff. Eighty three percent of the teachers recommended that the school district use the program in all elementary schools. The results of this study indicate that the Eglin program is also an effective way to improve elementary and middle school students' information about tobacco knowledge, attitudes and intent towards using tobacco products in Charleston and Berkeley County.
