I would suggest visiting the University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco
Research and Intervention web-site at www.ctri.wisc.edu. I'm not sure if
they have posters, however, I know their web-site has the revised U. S.
Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating Tobacco Use and
Dependence. These guideline recommendations for helping smokers quit were
developed for clinicians, healthcare providers, insurers, administrators,
purchasers and others who play a role in smoking cessation. This may be of
interest to you, among other helpful information on this web-site.

Just my opinion...
Kari
Will licenses to teach and/or certifications within content area
improve a child's education? In some cases yes, and others no. If a
teachers becomes certified in mathematics and in doing so picks up a few new
skills in the process, this teacher could improve the education of a
student. A rogue mathematics teachers who supplements his/her curriculum
with a different approach to geometry could be praised by a school board for
acting as an exemplary teacher and possibly receive rewards for his/her
efforts. A health educator, regardless of certification, who teaches
students about a new contraceptive method could be punished for their
effort. The questions of policy has little to do with certification or
licensing policies. We could have health educators or English teachers
teaching health education in schools, but the fact remains that the majority
of schools, in the areas of the country that have worst public health
problems, are strictly curriculum based. The English teacher and the health
educator who stray from the school's predetermined health education
curriculum suffer the same consequences. The policies that need to change
are school curricula and policies (most implicit) limit the health educators
opportunity to teach. Once the policies/content of school curricula begin
to shift and health educators are treated the same as a mathematics teacher,
then a health education certification will matter.
Currently, most school curricula use a knowledge based approach. Any
licensed teacher should be able to disseminate knowledge from the same book
that their students read. Health educators would be able to make a
difference if schools allowed educators to use attitudinal or behavioral
approaches. Considering the three types of approaches (knowledge,
attitudes, and behavior), knowledge is the most contextually specific. Once
a student leaves the classroom most of the knowledge of health education is
left in that classroom. In addition, most knowledge based approaches are
hierarchical. A teacher, in an authoritative role, tells the students the
facts, and students do not have the opportunity to contribute to the class.
Once a student shifts into an out of school context, a student contributes
to the knowledge base of his/her peer group (i.e., a context to contribute).
The peer context is the context in which most health education behaviors are
made, and where the attitudes toward many health behaviors is reified.
Without giving students an opportunity to express themselves in the
classroom, an environment in which a teacher could act as a facilitator or
advisor, many students only opportunity to be heard is with their
unsupervised peer group. Unless a student has internalized health values
from prior experience or parental involvement and/or has a positive health
peer group, then a student is left to figure out the world based on
experiential learning with a peer group. In the case of the rebellious
child, he or she will "behave badly". Behaving badly in the United States
involves using drugs, violence, and sexual activity. An overall cultural
shift needs to occur in which "behaving badly" is redefined. One way for
this to be accomplished is to normalize and to place into the
proper/representative the topics of violence, sex, and drug use. Changing
curricula content and allowing certified health educators to teach in an
open and accepting environment will help to facilitate this cultural shift.
The moralistic approaches that have been used in the United States have not
worked and will not work (e.g., prohibition and abstinence only sex
education programs). The disease model used frequently in health does not
and will not work either. To say that alcoholics, for example, are diseased
is quite a statement. People carry out behavior patterns based on a complex
history biology and the environment. A diseased person also needs the help
of an expert and does not have control (the disease has control). A change
needs to occur in health education curricula to include methods that help to
internalize locus of control. Effecting change in curricula and
administrative policy, in my opinion, needs to precede resolving the issue
of teacher certification.
