Health Educator, v44 n2 p29-34 Fall 2012
A medical school at a Southeastern university implemented a tobacco free policy to promote a healthy environment for its employees, patients, and visitors. Eighteen months post policy implementation, undergraduate students in the Department of Health Education and Promotion evaluated the satisfaction, awareness, and perceived compliance/enforcement of this policy. To evaluate the policy, students collected 292 responses from a cross-sectional survey, conducted interviews with those implementing the policy, and conducted observations on campus. Results suggest improved awareness, satisfaction, and enforcement of a policy are related to effectiveness and that the student project helped students understand the importance and value of program evaluation.
