CHANGING PEDIATRIC PRACTICE TO ADDRESS SECOND HAND TOBACCO SMOKE EXPOSURE
Jonathan P. Winickoff, MD, MPH; Massachusetts General Hospital; 2003 YCSA
Dr. Winickoff’s goal is to develop and test a pediatric office system to enhance the delivery of evidencebased
tobacco control services with a resulting decrease in childhood exposure to SHS and the diseases
caused from exposure to SHS. The three phases of the research study include 1) an exploratory study
consisting of the preliminary adaptation of an evidence-based tobacco control strategy to the pediatric
outpatient setting, 2) a qualitative study using focus groups from eight pediatric practices to elicit
pediatrician and key staff responses, barriers, and solutions to implementing the proposed strategy, and 3)
an intervention study examining the feasibility and efficacy of implementing within the pediatric office
setting the tobacco control system developed in Phase 1 and refined in Phase 2. The study was designed to
justify a larger trial with randomization at the practice level.

REVERSING TOBACCO MARKET RESEARCH ON YOUNG ADULTS AND BAR INTERVENTIONS TO DECREASE
YOUNG ADULT SMOKING
Pamela Ling, MD, MPH; University of California, San Francisco; YCSA 2004
Dr. Ling and colleagues are exploring the possible prevention of tobacco-smoke-related diseases by
developing an improved understanding of how the tobacco industry markets cigarettes to young adults
ages 18- 24. The PI’s work utilizes market research strategies found by studying previously secret tobacco
