6th Grade Tobacco Education

The Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health provides a school-based program for 6th grade students in Cerro Gordo County schools. The program stresses social influences, short-term effects of smoking, identifying anti-drugs, and refusal skills in preventing the initiation of tobacco use. Community partnerships have been formed to promote a wide range of activities that discourage tobacco use and support smoke-free environments.

Our health promotion and education service manager, Tammy Bryant, visits each 6th grade class in Cerro Gordo County once a year with this interactive and exciting two-day curriculum. Bryant is also the coordinator of the Partnership for a Tobacco Free Cerro Gordo County coalition. Read about the coalition in this brochure.
