Strategies and lessons learned for smoke and Tobacco-Free policy change on community colleges with community-based support.

Community colleges face challenges to becoming smoke-free and have higher smoking prevalence rates than four-year colleges. This case study examines how Sacramento Taking Action Against Nicotine Dependence (STAND), a community-based organization's project, achieved tobacco-free policies at California's second largest community college district. Data sources describing the STAND policymaking activities (2001-2016) include evaluation reports and key informant interviews (n = 9) with community college nursing staff, former STAND staff, and other Sacramento tobacco control partners.

A Community-Based "Street Team" Tobacco Cessation Intervention by and for Youth and Young Adults.

Most tobacco users initiate use as youth or young adults. To promote tobacco cessation for this group and encourage non-users' engagement in tobacco control efforts, a community-based organization developed a "Street Team" brief outreach intervention that enlisted youth and young adults to encourage their peers to stop tobacco use through a brief intervention. Street Team members provided education, a Quit Kit, and referrals to cessation resources at a total of 27 community events over a four-year period.
