The Minnesota Smoking Prevention Program has a six session, evaluated and highly focused curriculum with a peer leader component. Special emphasis is placed on critical elements of social influences including normative education and a lesson on how to analyze advertising pressures. It also covers refusal skills. When combined with a community-wide intervention the program has shown a reduction in smoking up to six years.
