Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The Florida Tobacco Control Program (FTCP) has reduced youth smoking rates substantially since the program’s inception in April 1998. No studies have examined the extent to which newspaper coverage of the FTCP has contributed to these declines. In this manuscript, we examine the amount of FTCP newspaper coverage in Florida newspapers and assess the impact of FTCP newspaper coverage on the implementation of tobacco control policies and smoking behavior among teens. Results demonstrate that the FTCP has generated substantial coverage throughout the program, and a significant portion of this coverage has focused on activities and programs by Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT). Results also provide evidence that FTCP newspaper coverage, particularly coverage of SWAT, was responsible for a portion of the observed declines in current smoking and cigarette consumption. These findings highlight the importance of public relations and media advocacy as part of public health communication programs and suggest that community groups contribute to reductions in smoking rates in part by generating news coverage of activities and programs.
