NCI is pleased to announce the availability of No lo deje para manana, deje
de fumar hoy, Guia para Dejar de Fumar, a Spanish-language guide to smoking
cessation. We encourage you to integrate this evidence-tested guide into
your educational activities for consumers and health professionals.
The guide offers:
§ step-by-step information and tips on how to quit smoking;
§ an extensive section on pharmacological aids for treating nicotine
addiction; and
§ advice about what to expect after quitting.
As you may know, no other agent is responsible for more avoidable illness
and death than tobacco. Lung cancer, for example, is the leading cause of
cancer death among Hispanic adults in the U.S. By providing this information
to your Spanish-speaking audiences, you support their efforts to stop
smoking.
To download or view the guide, go to:
http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/tcrb/Spanish_Smoking_book.pdf.
NCI publications may be ordered directly by visiting the Cancer Information
Service's Publications Locator website at www.cancer.gov/publications
http://www.cancer.gov/publications. Click on "Search for Publications" and
enter the keywords "Guia para Dejar de Fumar." Call 1-800-4-CANCER to order
by telephone.
For more information about the guide, please contact Julie Cheh at (301)

greetings, and apologies for cross-postings.
i am looking for examples of surveys used to measure impact of a one-time
sexual violence program on the audience. our target population is male and
female first-year college students. we do 3 shows of one dramatic,
multi-media program in the fall which all first-year students attend.
i'd like to evaluate it this year (september 2002), so i'm pressed for time.
any already-created surveys, questions, references, or people to contact who
have done this already will be so very appreciated! please email if
possible.
thanks, and welcome back everyone! the smell of fall is in the air already,
in missoula anyway.

Hi all! I am just full of requests these days. As the newly appointed
graduate coordinator of our MPH program at (UNC) and as Assistant Chair I
must receive 12-15 emails a day requesting information about our program
(especially from international students). One of the items of the year is to
update our website so the students can find everything they need there but in
the interim I would like to respond personally to all inquiries with a form
letter and or packet that keeps them directly connected to our department and
program. I don't want them to just be referred to the "grad school." If any
MPH program directors in HEDIR land are willing to share with me what you do
I would be so thankful. Thanks in advance for your help and have a great Fall
semester. Patti Cost
