Project SHOUT
Investigator: John P. Elder

Project SHOUT (Students Helping Others Understand Tobacco) is a tobacco-use prevention program starting with fifth-grade students and ending with the ninth grade. The intervention combines various educational, social activism, and behavioral strategies with personalized telephone and mail boosters. Project SHOUT's classroom-based curriculum is suitable for grades five through eight. The home-based booster program is suitable for ninth graders.

Project SHOUT is a five-year program. It includes a school-based intervention in grades five through eight and a home-based intervention in grade nine. The classroom intervention in each grade is eight weekly, 50-minute lessons, and is conducted with approximately 25-35 students per class. The booster intervention, which uses direct mail (newsletters) and telephone calls, reaches each participant individually and delivers a tobacco use prevention message some what tailored to that participant's needs.
