End of Part I 5 Part II-Proposed Proiect Description of Need (3,800 characters) 10% of Total Score Include in your response: • Community Need: Describe the community's need for the services described in the. plan of work in the proposed service area.. • Teen Demographics: Provide current demographic information about teen tobacco use in the proposed service area. • Youth Activities and Infrastructure: Provide information on current youth tobacco use prevention activities and infrastructure in the proposed service area. • Geographic Area and Populations: Describe the proposed service area and how the population will benefit from the program. The OCHD program is the only program working to prevent youth tobacco-use in the county. The current program has detected needs to enforce 100% TFS policies within both districts and plans to enhance policy communication, supplement the current middle school-based health curricula with youth-driven educational presentations, develop youth-led social norms/counter marketing activities to reduce the influence of tobacco advertising, and develop a sustainable smoke-free dining campaign. Ina 2001YRBS of the two school systems, between 3-12% of middle school students had smoked in the last 30 days. 2005 YRBS results from one district show that the percent of middle school students smoking rose from 3% in 2001 to 6% in 2005. This reveals a need to further strengthen prevention and cessation efforts in the middle schools. In high schools, the 2001 YRBS results showed that 20-25% of high schools students had smoked in the last 30 days. 2003 and 2005 YRBS results show a 5% and 12% drop in high school smokers in both districts. YRBS data also show that 9-17% more high school students had never smoked a whole cigarette in 2004/2005 compared to 2001. These results reveal that county-wide prevention efforts, along with a statewide media campaign, have been effective in reducing the number of high school smokers. The 2003 YRBS also shows that the percentage of high school smokers attempting to quit in the past year dropped from 17% to 10%. This reveals a need for continued 100% TFS policy enforcement through implementation of cessation programs (NOT) and increased awareness of cessation resources. Currently, 41 high school peer educators are actively involved in the program. Peer educators give Tobacco 101 presentations in the middle schools, conduct prevention activities in the high schools and community, advocate for smoke-free family restaurants, and educate decision makers on scientifically supported pro-health policies. Local school-based media is developed by peer educators for delivery through media sources targeting youth in their schools and communities. Peer educators and program supporters also write letters to the editor and PSAs on issues related to the program's goals. In order to sustain youth involvement, peer educators recruit and train new peer educators during. the school year. 6 Peer educators receive a nominal stipend upon completing 20hrs. of training and are provided other non-monetary incentives throughout their involvement in the program. Current infrastructure includes 41 peer educators, close partnerships with 2 school health coordinators, 24 trained NOT/ATS facilitators in middle and high schools, extensive 100% TFS signage in middle and high schools in one district, two district substance abuse policies that promote the NOT and ATS programs, one self-sufficient high school T.R.U. Club, numerous educational and instructional materials and aids, and one full time program coordinator with office space and equipment. Orange County is the service area reached. According to the 2000 Census, OC had 118,183 residents of which 20% are under 18 years old. The youth population is the primary focus of this program. Youth. are predominantly engaged through the schools but also through extra- curricular, community, and faith-based groups. The business and restaurant communities are also engaged in the program in order to protect youth from tobacco advertising and exposure to secondhand smoke. Adult populations are engaged to help youth advocate for pro-health policies and practices that protect young people from tobacco use. Racial and ethnic minorities are reached through the program and the peer educators currently involved in the program represent various racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

Your local objectives must be S.M.A.R.T. -Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Relevant, and Time Limited. For more information, refer to the Goals, Objectives, Best Practice Activities and Program Indicators and General Guidelines sections of the HWTFC RFP. Include in your response: • Innovative Approaches: Describe how your program demonstrates innovation at the community, county, regional or state level. • Target Audience and Their Involvement: Identify the proposed service recipients and your commitment to involve target audiences in program development. • Timeline for Program Implementation for the entire grant period • Sustainability Plan for Program Continuation Past June 2009 • Plan to Increase Healthcare Capacity • Results of Previous Efforts: Describe results and outcomes for previous teen tobacco use intervention programs serving the target population. The OCHD program is innovative in its ability to develop a comprehensive, best practice- guidedprogram around a diverse group of actively involved youth peer educators. The program's peer educators are integral participants in all four focus areas: preventing youth tobacco initiation, providing youth tobacco cessation support, eliminating youth exposure to secondhand smoke, and involving and engaging diverse youth populations. The program 7 develops extensive culturally diverse youth groups that become change agents in developing a tobacco-free norm in the schools and community. This is done by directing efforts toward changing youth attitudes and behaviors through direct involvement and educational outreach. Activities aim to reduce the number of risk factors influencing young people to smoke and replace those risk factors with protective factors that discourage tobacco use. Expected Program Outcomes: 1) By June 2009, 2009 YRBS results will show a 7% and 5% decline in the number of OCS and CHCCS middle and high school students respectively who have smoked cigarettes in the last 30 days using 2003/2005 YR.BS data as the baseline. 2) By June 2009, 2009 YRBS results will show a 6% and 4% increase in the number of OCS and CHCCS middle and high school students respectively who have never smoked a whole cigarette using 2003/2005 YRBS data as the baseline. 3) By June 2009, 2009 YRBS results will show a 2% increase in the number of OCS and CHCCS high school students who have attempted to quit smoking in the last 12 months using 2003/2005 YRBS data as the baseline. Focus Area 1: Preventing Youth Initiation Goal 1: The program will recruit and train youth peer educators from CHCCS and OCS high schools, involving them as active participants in the four focus areas. Local Objective: By June 2009, 90 students will be recruited from OCS and CHCCS high schools and trained as TRU peer educators. This will be measured by required parentaUguaxdian permission forms provided by parents/guardians of peer educators. Strategies: New peer educators will be identified and recruited through recruitment campaigns conducted by current peer educators and teacher and student assistance counselor referrals. Large group peer educator trainings will be held twice a year during the school year and summer. Timeline: Peer educators will be recruited throughout the school year and trained twice a year during the grant period. Goal 2: The program will mobilize peer educators to implement educational Tobacco 101 and Media Literacy programs and strategies to reduce tobacco initiation by middle school youth. Local Objective: By June 2009, a total of 1,500 middle school students in OCS and CHCCS will have participated in a Tob. 1 O1 or Media Literacy presentation led by TRU peer educators. This will be measured by participant and teacher evaluations completed at the end of each presentation. Strategies: Trained TRU peer educators will continue to provide Tobacco 101 presentations in middle school classrooms and will add a Media Literacy presentation. The Media Literacy presentation will be amulti-media, interactive presentation focusing on tobacco industry marketing and youth participation in creating counter marketing messages.. Working relationships already exist with teachers in OCS and CHCCS middle schools and these relationships will be maintained to schedule presentations. Timeline: An average of 3-4 presentations will be given each month during the school year during the grant period. Goa13: The program will conduct, in consultation with youth peer educators, a social norms campaign in OCS and CHCCS middle and high schools. 8 Local Objective 1: By June 2009, 45% of middle school students and 60% of high school students surveyed will report being exposed to at least one of the social norms campaign components. This will be measured by a youth-led media exposure survey conducted in the middle and high schools. Strategies: Using the Alamance Co. program as a model, youth peer educators will develop a social norms campaign that heightens the social undesirability of tobacco use and develops a healthy stigma that tobacco use is an unattractive behavior. Emphasis will be placed on smokers being in the minority and challenge pro tobacco youth norms currently accepted by students. Key messages will be diffused via school-based media and distribution of promotional materials. Timeline: Starting during the 2005-2006 school yeaz peer educators will begin developing the campaign (key messages, concepts, diffusion sources, etc.) in consultation with program staff. The campaign will be rolled out during the second semester of the school yeaz and continue each semester during the grant period. Local Objective 2: By June 2009, 15 mini-grants will have been awarded to OCS and CHCCS middle and high school groups to develop educational projects and projects that supplement the social norms campaign. This will be measured by final project summazies reporting the activities conducted using mini-grant funds. Strategies: The program will conduct yearly mini-grant cycles in the fall and spring of each school year. Five established student organizations or clubs (limit of one per school per semester) will be eligible for a grant of up to $500 to carry out a special project. A review board of TRU peer educators will review applications and select mini-grant recipients. Student organizations or clubs will be required to complete a final project summary reporting on the project's activities. Monies for these mini-grants will be managed by OCS and CHCCS as part of the health coordinator's program budget (see attached letters of agreement). Timeline: Mini-grant prepazation will occur during the first semester of the 2005-2006 school year. Mini-grants will be available to school groups during the second semester of that yeaz and Smini-grants will be awarded among 10 schools each year during the grant period. Focus Area 2: Promoting youth cessation Goal 1: Work with CHCCS and OCS districts to enhance the enforcement of their 100% TFS policies by implementing the ATS and NOT programs. Local Objective 1: By June 2009, each CHCCS and OCS middle and high school will have maintained at least two school-based adult ATS/NOT program facilitators. This will be measured by maintaining contact with school health coordinators and training records from ATS/NOT trainings. Strategies: The program coordinator will work with OCS and CHCCS health coordinators to maintain two trained facilitators in each middle and high school. A record of trained ATS/NOT facilitators is maintained by the coordinator and if additional school personnel require training the coordinator will arrange for their participation in an ALA run ATS/NOT training. At the end of each school yeaz ATS/NOT trained facilitators, CHCCS and OCS health coordinators, and the program coordinator will meet to evaluate progress of the two programs. Timeline: Ongoing throughout grant period. 9 Local Objective 2: By June 2009, 75% of middle and high school students caught in violation of the school tobacco policy will have attended 4 sessions of the ATS program. This will be measured through school health coordinators accessing district disciplinary recording systems (NOWISE, etc.) Strategies: The program coordinator, TRU peer educators, and OCS and CHCCS health coordinators will promote ATS awareness among teachers, student assistance counselors, and administrators through in-person meetings and periodic written correspondence. All parties will convene at the end of each semester to monitor tobacco policy violations and the self- referral of violators to the ATS programs. Timeline: Ongoing throughout grant period. Review of violations at end of each semester. Local Objective 3: By June 2009, each OCS and CHCCS high. school will have conducted at minimum three NOT programs (1 per year) led by a trained school-based NOT facilitator. This will be measured by yearly NOT facilitator attendance records. Strategies: ATS/NOT facilitators will be encouraged to apply for ALA NOT mini-grants to fund NOT programs. Intensive efforts will be made by TRU peer educators, ATS/NOT facilitators, and the program coordinator to increase teacher and administrator awareness of the NOT program's supportive, non-punitive approach. Additional, peer educator-led, recruiting will be done using school-based media and offering incentives to youth smokers who successfully complete the NOT program. Timeline: Recruitment efforts will take place during the beginning of each semester. NOT programs must start with at least 10 weeks left in the semester unless NOT is modified by the facilitator to take less time. These efforts will be continuous during the grant period. Goal 2: Work with CHCCS and OCS districts to enhance the enforcement of their 100% TFS policies by communicating the 100%TFS policy to all students, staff, and visitors. Local Objective 1: By June 2009, all CHCCS middle and high schools will have on display 1 TFS banner, 2 TFS sandwich boards, and 2 TFS outdoor wall signs. This will be measured by an environmental inspection conducted by the program coordinator and confirmed by the school principal. (Note: OCS middle and high schools currently have above signage in place.) Strategies: Signs will be purchased through the TPCB vendor and distributed with a principal letter describing their proper display. Health coordinators will follow up with principals if barriers to their proper display are detected. Timeline: Signage will be distributed to each school by the end of the semester of the 2005- 2006 school year. Signs should be posted by the first week of the second semester of the same year and left on display indefinitely. Local Objective 2: By June 2009, all CHCCS and OCS high schools will have institutionalized the practice of reminding sporting event attendees of the school's 100% TFS policy via an announcement during each game. This will be measured by a letter from each high school's athletic director confirming inclusion of the 100% TFS announcement. Strategies: Results from the UNC-SPH Tackle Smoking Project will be consolidated and shared with school principals and athletic directors. A sample announcement will be given to school athletic directors with instructions to require game announcers to read the announcement. Timeline: Communication with athletic directors will occur prior to the start of the 2005- 2006 school year in order to have the announcement in use for fall sporting events. Announcements will be read indefinitely. 10 Goa13: All adult school-based personnel will be aware of local cessation services and resources such as quitlines and web-based services. Smoke-free adult personnel will strengthen the OCS and CHCCS district's 100% TFS policies by acting as smoke-free role models for students. Local Objective: By June 2009, all OCS and CHCSS school-based personnel will have received materials promoting local, phone, and web-based cessation services. This will be measured by a mailing records kept by school health coordinators. Strategies: Cessation resources will be posted and available in teacher/staff break rooms as well as distributed through district mailings. Timeline: Resources will be provided to school health coordinators prior to the start of the 2005-2006 school year for posting prior to the start of classes. Resources and personnel mailings will be refreshed each semester. Focus Area 3: Eliminate youth exposure to secondhand smoke Goal: The program will increase parent awareness of the harmful effects of secondhand smoke on children. Local Objective 1: By June 2009, all OCS and CHCCS elementary schools will have at minimum two "Love Our Lungs" signs posted at every parent/guardian drop-off/pick-up point on school property. This will be measured by an environmental inspection conducted by the program coordinator and confirmed by the school principal. Strategies: Signs will be purchased from the vendor used by Healthy Alamance and distributed to OCS and CHCCS elementary schools with a principal letter describing their proper display. Health coordinators will follow up with principals if barriers to their proper display are detected. Timeline: Signs will be distributed to schools by the end of the first semester of the 2005- 2006 school year and should be displayed by the first week of the second semester of that year. Signs will be on display indefinitely. Local Objective 2: By June 2009, TRU peer educators will have conducted a total of 24 secondhand smoke awareness outreach activities at parentlguardian drop-off/pick-up points at all CHCCS and OCS elementary schools. This will be measured by the program coordinator's entries into the iPTS system. Strategies: 2-3 peer educators will conduct outreach during hours of drop-off or pick-up. Peer educators will hand static cling "Love Our Lungs" window stickers and other awareness materials to parents/guardians dropping off/picking up their children. Timeline: Peer educators will start outreach during the second semester of the 2005-2006 school year. 4 elementary schools will be reached each semester during the grant period. Goal: The program will increase the number of smoke-free family restaurants in Orange County. Local Objective 1: By June 2009, 100% of restaurants applying for a permit in Orange County will receive an informational packet from the Environmental Health Services Division (EHSD) of the OCHD communicating the advantages of opening smoke free. This will be measured by EHSD records. Strategies: This strategy has recently been implemented as part of the current program and requires organizational institutionalization. The program coordinator will provide informational packets to the EHSD on a monthly basis. EHSD records will monitor the distribution of the packets to new restaurants. 11 Timeline: Ongoing throughout grant period and indefinite beyond grant period. Local Objective 2: By June 2009, 25% of restaurants opened during the grant period will open smoke free.. This will be measured by EHSD records and the restaurant database maintained by the program coordinator. Strategies: See previous "strategies". Timeline: Ongoing throughout grant period and indefinite beyond grant period. Local Objective 3: By June 2009, 120 Orange County restaurants will be listed on the OCHD online smoke-free dining guide. This will be measured by viewing the OCHD guide at www.co.orange.nc.us/health smoke-free.htm. Strategies: The OCHD, in partnership with the OC Asthma Coal. and TRU peer educators, will recruit smoke-free restaurants for its online smoke-free dining guide. Recruitment will be via direct mailings and in-person contact by peer educators. To publicize the online guide, a paid and earned media campaign will be utilized to feature smoke-free restaurants and diffuse the guide throughout the community. Restaurant owners and managers will be consulted in the development of this media campaign. This campaign is modeled after the successful Wake Co. stoplight campaign. Timeline: Recruitment of restaurants and media will be ongoing throughout grant period. Focus Area 4: Eliminate Health Disparities Goal: Involve diverse youth as peer educators in order to provide culturally competent educational outreach to minority populations in Orange County. Local Objective 1: By June 2009, at least 25% of peer educators will be minority students from OCS and CHCCS. This will be measured by completed applications of accepted peer educators. Strategies: Current peer educators will actively recruit minority students into the TRU peer educator group. Emphasis has been ,and will continue to be, placed on the importance of representing minority groups in order to effectively work with minority students to reduce disparities. Existing linkages with minority student groups/clubs will be strengthened and additional linkages will be pursued. Timeline: Ongoing throughout grant period. Local Objective 2: By June 2009, peer educators will have conducted educational outreach at 12 minority-focused community and/or school events. This will be measured by the coordinator's iPTS reporting. Strategies: Peer educators will maintain their participation in existing minority-serving school and community fairs and events and pursue new opportunities. Peer educators will improve the cultural appropriateness of educational materials and outreach strategies, translating materials into Spanish when necessary. Timeline: School and community events have been identified and occur primarily in the fall, spring, and summer of each year. Attendance at these events will be ongoing throughout the grant period. Sustainability: Much emphasis has been placed on building school and community-based capacity to carry out core activities in the focus areas above without substantial funding. Training materials have been developed for peer educator training and adult NOT/ATS facilitators have been trained within each middle and high school. Peer educators, with the assistance of trained 12 school-based personnel, could carry on with Tob. 101 and Media Literacy presentations in the middle schools at minimal cost. Additionally, the smoke-free dining guide, once initiated and achieving community awareness, could be passed onto the local Chamber of Commerce. Upkeep of this .dining guide is minimal and low-cost. Beyond June, 2009 the program plans to sustain it's full programmatic activities by requesting that the OC County Commissioners provide funding for the continuation of the program. Additional community funding and grants will be pursued. Improve Healthcare Capacity: In addition to relieving strain on the local healthcare system by preventing future tobacco related disease, the OCHD is well positioned to influence county health clinic and private provider practices regarding tobacco-use prevention and cessation counseling. The OCHD enjoys an excellent reputation with the OC healthcare community and will continue to share best practices materials with providers (Ex. Recent TPCB 5 A's card). OCHD clinic staff already do tobacco counseling during prenatal visits and will begin to promote the use of Medicaid for certain nicotine replacement therapy treatments.

The lead applicant for this project is the Orange County Health Department (OCHD). The OCHD has been serving the Orange County community by providing clinical services, health promotion and education, dental health, environmental health and animal control for more than 25 years. Through our broad array of services we provide public health to residents in three separate clinics and in the field. The health promotion and education division in particular is involved in bringing prevention programs to the community through schools, community groups, health fairs and other settings. Orange County has been involved in tobacco policy initiatives since 1988 when the commissioners approved a policy limiting. smoking in county buildings. The OCHD advocated for and the Board of Health passed 14 Smoking Control Rules in 1993 restricting ETS in public places, work sites and restaurants. In 1997 the Boazd of Health created asmoke-free committee, made up of OCHD and community representatives who worked to develop a county anti-smoking plan. This plan included encouraging restaurants to go 100% smoke-free and the group developed, published, and distributed asmoke-free dining guide that included more than 75 restaurants. In November 2000 the Healthy Carolinians Preventive Services committee organized activities for the Great American Smoke Out. The OCHD has also offered smoking cessation groups by request for many years and has a public health educator who is a trained American Lung Association cessation group facilitator. OCHD is a government organization with the capacity to oversee a project such as this one with ease. The OCHD has three health educators with experience in tobacco use prevention and cessation. The current program coordinator for youth tobacco use prevention is a full-time Senior Health Educator with a Masters degree in Public Health. This position is in the Division of Health Promotion and Educational Services. The coordinator has extensive training and experience in program planning, implementation, and evaluation. The coordinator also has nearly two years of experience managing the youth tobacco-use prevention grant. The program coordinator has received training and technical assistance from the North Carolina Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch (TPCB), has attended a national conference on tobacco control, and is a graduate of the North Carolina Governor's Academy of Prevention Professionals (GAPP) training in substance abuse prevention. The Director of the Health Promotion and Education Division, also holding a MPH, provides oversight for the program. The Lead applicant employs undergraduate and graduate level interns to assist with program implementation and trains interns as TATU and NOT/ATS facilitators. Additionally, the lead applicant has trained more than 40 youth peer educators and organized American Lung Association trainings for 24 adult NOT/ATS facilitators. Peer educators from the program have been invited to present to other county youth and have assisted the Central Region Question Why Youth Empowerment Center with an out-of- county training. OCS has 6,628 students in grades pre-K through 12, including seven elementary, two middle and two high schools. The Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) has 10,350 students in grades pre-k through 12. There are 8 elementary, 4 middle and 2 high schools. Both districts are committed to working with the OCHD to prevent tobacco use in teens and eliminate youth exposure to ETS. Both districts will continue to survey students on an annual basis and provide survey results to the OCHD for evaluation purposes. CHCCS have been 100% tobacco -free since 1990 and can continue to provide guidance to the OCS as they strengthen the enforcement of their 100% TFS policy. The School Health Coordinators from each school system will act as liaisons for the tobacco prevention coordinator from the health department. They will help to facilitate entry into the schools and connect the coordinator with the appropriate teachers, classes and students to implement the project. In particular, the School Health Coordinators and other school-based personnel will continue to provide in-kind contributions totaling 20 hours a month. Both school districts have health and physical education teachers that currently provide basic health education on the dangers of tobacco use on human health. These teachers work closely with TRU peer educators to schedule Tobacco 101 and other presentations. As a result of the current program, 24 school-based personnel (2 in each middle and high school) are trained as adult facilitators for the NOT/ATS programs. 15 The current program has received extensive coverage through print, radio, and TV media. The T.R.U. program was awarded a monthly column in the News of Orange County which featured articles written by youth peer educators on a variety of youth tobacco-use prevention issues. In addition to contributions to the Chapel Hill News and the Chapel Hill Herald, youth peer educators have been interviewed on Iocal news channels during training events, and featured on NCCU's 90.7 Spanish language radio program called "Cita Dominical". One Orange County youth was featured on the MTV Music Awards T.R.U. commercial developed by CapStrat. Additionally, the program coordinator has been asked to appear as a guest on two statewide TV programs: Univision's Enfoque Latino (Spanish) and UNC-TV's High School Assembly. Local school-based media has included articles in high school newspapers, announcements at high school sporting events, and announcements over school intercoms and television stations. A11 of the above mentioned media, except school newspaper advertisements, have been earned at no cost to the program. The program recently initiatied a Smoke-Free Dining Campaign that is featured on the OCHD's webpage and has distributed smoke-free decals and certificates to 20 OC restaurants. Additional paid media is proposed for the promotion and strengthening of this campaign and the school- based social norms campaign. Youth will continue to be the driving force behind the program. The program staff have taken a "youth-led, adult-assisted" approach throughout current programmatic activities and plan on expanding the scope of youth influence in the proposed plan. More than 40 peer educators meet on a bi-weekly basis with the program coordinator to plan prevention activities, develop and schedule educational presentations, and coordinate smoke-free advocacy efforts with local establishments. Peer educators are also responsible for training newly recruited peer educators in a train-the-trainers model. Outcomes and Local Evaluation Plan (4,000 characters) 10% of Total Score As a condition of receiving a grant awazd, HWTFC requires that each grantee participate in a state-level outcomes study using acomputer-based activity tracking system, "indicator Progress Tracking System" (iPTS), provided by the UNC-CH, Department of Family Medicine, in collaboration with the NC Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch, and funded by HWTFC. The iPTS system tracks specific program indicators to measure project progress toward meeting goals and objectives. All local evaluation efforts should be consistent with the overall evaluation outcome program. For purposes of local evaluation, you will need to determine how you measure the quality and quantity of your proposed teen tobacco use prevention and cessation activities. A. Outcomes: Include in your response: • Description of expected outcomes of the proposed project • Definition of the long term impact of the proposed project 16 The program will increase the knowledge/skills of middle and high school students of/on the dangers of tobacco use and how to avoid use, the harmful effects of secondhand smoke and how to prevent exposure, and pro tobacco marketing influences and how to protect oneself from those influences. The "Love Our Lungs" campaign will help parents/guardians increase their knowledge of the dangers of youth exposure to SHS and skills to protect youth from exposure. It is expected that this knowledge and skill set will lead to youth and adults viewing tobacco use negatively (attitudes) and modify behavior to avoid tobacco use or exposure to secondhand smoke. This, in addition to changes in the physical environment, will lead to fewer youth tobacco users and reduced exposure to SHS. B. Local Evaluation Plan: Include in your response: • Description of school and community policies, media and program services you will monitor during the length of the program. • Description of the procedures to measure progress toward goals and objectives • Description of how the evaluation results will be communicated to the proposed service area. The program will monitor the following school policies through the assistance of school health coordinators within OCS and CHCCS: 100% TFS, ATS, NOT. In particular, the program will conduct environmental inspections for 100% TFS signage, NOT recruitment materials, and "Love Our Lungs". Sporting event announcements will be monitored through athletic director confirmation and random attendance of sporting events. The program will also monitor the smoking policies of family restaurants and youth-oriented hangouts. The program staff, school health coordinators, and peer educators regularly monitor media for relevant developments and coverage of the program's achievements. All program- specific media messages are kept in a scrap book on file in the health department. Additionally, important corzespondence with key school, community, and county leaders are kept on file in the health department. The program will monitor its services according to the local objective-specific measurements and strategies described in the Program Plan above. The OCHD is pursuing a department wide effort to measure customer/client satisfaction and once these measurement tools are developed they will be applied to the youth tobacco-use prevention program. Progress will be measured by employing process objectives for each outcome-oriented local objective described in the Program Plan. Process objectives will ensure that activities are being carried out in a timely fashion and in order to meet key milestones. Communication of evaluation results will be done both formally and informally with the general public and key partners. Results of evaluation will be shared through media for the general public. Results of evaluation will be shared with key partners through summary reports and correspondence through meetings, emails, and telephone conversations. At the end of the grant period a final summary of the status of proposed goals and objectives will be compiled and communicated to both the general public, partners, and other stakeholders. 17 C. indicator Progress Tracking System (iPTS): Indicate your organization's willingness, capacity/readiness and ability to participate in iPTS by responding to the items below: • Windows 98 or higher ® Yes ^ No If No, ^Agree to by this date (MM/DD/YY): • Computer capable of supporting Microsoft Office 97 or higher ® Yes ^ No If No, ^Agree to by this date (MM/DD/YY): • Dedicated computer access ® Yes ^ No If No, ^Agree to by this date (MM/DD/YY): • Dedicated Internet access ® Yes ^ No If No, ^Agree to by this date (MM/DD/YY): • E-mail address ® Yes ^ No If No, ^Agree to by this date (MM/DD/YY): • Software-Microsoft Office OR Microsoft Word and Microsoft Access ® Yes ^ No If No, ^Agree to by this date (MM/DD/YY): End of Part II 18 10% of Total Score Part III- Prouosed Budget and Fiscal Information A.

SIGNATORY'S NAME SIGNATORY'S TITLE DATE SIGNED 33 A ATTACHMENT F GUIDELINES FOR USING HWTFC LOGO & NAME The HWTFC logo and name are important parts of your written, visual, and verbal communications with your target group. They are also crucial elements when communicating with the larger community, the region, governmental organizations, and mass media. It is critical that the public recognizes HWTFC as the funding source for the good work you are doing in your communities. The logo, both graphic image and text, are strong visual cues to the public that: a) build awarenessthatthis is astate-wide initiative, b) create name familiarity for HWTFC, and c) allow public and legislators to see where and how Commission dollars are being used. Verbally employing the name "North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission" during press interviews, at public events, and in meetings ensures that other writers, especially the press, will incorporate the name in their publications. LOgO The HWTFC logo cannot be altered with the exception of being reproduced in black/white/and grey tones on a black and white document. Otherwise, the text, font, colors, and graphic image must be used as provided by the HWTFC. Do not divide the text portion of the logo from the graphic portion. The logo can be enlarged or reduced, but proportions should remain in tact. Required Placement of Logo Place the HWTFC logo on the front lower corner ofone-sided printed materials and on the back lower corner of two-sided printed material. Required Use of Logo The logo must be used on all publications that are being used specifically for work being funded by HWTFC. This applies especially to media developed with Commission dollars. It also applies to existing materials that grantees use for this grant project. Add the HWTFC logo when reprinting/reproducing materials. Ezamnles of Media Required to Show the Logo include, but are not limited to: Posters, pamphlets, brochures, handouts, flyers and other announcements, invitations, videos, presentations, and published reports. Encouraged Use of Logo Press releases, event banners, giveaways (e.g., pedometers, pencils, pads, t-shirts), and letterhead for your HWTFC-funded project. Discouraged Use of Logo The HWTFC logo should not be used in any way that implies that any member of your organization is an employee of the HWTFC. Business cards, for example, are not an appropriate use for the logo unless they are formatted in a way that clearly portrays HWTFC as the funding source rather than the employer. Project letterhead should likewise name HWTFC as the funding source. 34 r ATTACHMENT G PROGRAM SPECIFIC REPORTS 35 Y ~~ Orange County TRU/Tobacco.Reality.Unfiftered Results of Past Programming: Major Policy Accomplishments and Key Achievements - 12 Schools adopt ATS and NOT policies 24 school-based personnel trained to implement new ATS/NOT policies 4 new schools promote 100% TFS through signage 1 restaurant adopts 100% smoke-free policy 1 bowling alley adopted improved smoke-free policy Over 200 restaurant patron surveys conducted and 4 smoke-free business presentations given to restaurant/bowling alley managers or owners 1 permanent high school club established 2 permanent district TRU peer educator groups established (40 trained peer educators) Over 700 middle school youth reached through Tobacco 101 presentations Over 1,000 youth reached through community outreach events Media Involvement - 6 TRU advertisements placed in school papers regarding cost of tobacco use 6 articles written by TRU peer educators 3 articles written by program staff 2 articles written by program supporters 8 articles written by newspaper staff on program Program featured on two radio programs Program featured on two state-wide TV programs 100s of NOT recruitment posters placed in schools 1,OOOs of TRU promotional items distributed Intern Professional Development: 1 intern from UNC-CH School of Public Health for summer 2004 1 intern from NCCU Dept. of Health Educ. for Winter-Spring 2005 The program has effectively collaborated with a number of current HWTF grantees on various training and educational outreach events.
