Background: The City of San Bernardino became a Healthy Cities Project participant in 1995. Since that time, the City has been awarded four Healthy Cities grants. A disaster preparedness project known as "Survival Actions For Earthquakes" (SAFE) was awarded a $5000 grant in 1995. In 1997, a $22,500 grant was awarded for a bicycle safety project. The City is currently working on a Blight Education Project which was awarded $7500 and a Heart Smart Grant, which was awarded $30,000 and matched by Loma Linda University Medical Center. California Healthy Cities and Communities has announced an augmentation award from the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services to assist cities in the "Youth Takin' On Tobacco" program. At least one city will receive up to $25,900 to implement a community - based, youth focused tobacco control program, Based on a letter intent submitted by the City, Healthy Cities has invited the City of San Bernardino to apply for funding. The proposed program would involve the recruitment of teens through the City's Parks and Recreation Community Centers to participate in: L A city coalition of youth that will construct a strategic plan to be implemented by teens for teens. Youth coalition activities would include programming efforts such as mural painting and assessment of city sales to minors enforcement. 2. The organization of a town hall meeting by teens to address ways in which city leaders could assist in providing teen tobacco use solutions. 3. Teen presentations at local school assemblies and parks and recreation rallies to mobilize and empower youth to get involved in taking on tobacco prevention issues. Cigarette consumption remains high for the city and for tobacco use by teens. A teen directed campaign would enable youth to extend their knowledge base and activities regarding tobacco prevention. The goal of this program is to protect youth from tobacco industry marketing efforts and the subsequent increase of early cigarette usage. In conjunction with San Bernardino County Department of Public Health's local lead Tobacco Use Reduction Now (T.U.R.N.), the City seeks to decrease tobacco use among teens by involving youth in social action activities. 75 -0264 Financial Impact: No matching funds are required from the City. Grant funding will provide staff time for an existing youth coordinator from Parks, Recreation and Community Services to administer the program. Additionally, this project will provide a great opportunity for youth in the community, as they will be paid for their efforts. Recommendation: That the application and subsequent submittal of the "Youth Takin' On Tobacco" project be approved. i 1 2 3 4 5 6 7' 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 COPY RESOLUTION NO.

The City of San Bernardino is committed to decreasing youth tobacco access and use. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Health's Tobacco Use Reduction Now Program (T.U.R.N.) and the City will partner to accomplish the goals set forth in the application. In 1995, youth from the City's Parks and Recreation Department were involved in the first statewide Operation Storefront Project for the State Department of Health Services.

Project Abstract The City of San Bernardino Youth Takin on Tobacco (YTT) Project is designed to involve youth in developing resiliency skills through community advocacy and activism. Participants will be recruited from the City's existing community centers to participate in a youth coalition that will develop and implement an advocacy strategic plan to reduce pro - tobacco influences on teens. Participants will be exposed to anti - tobacco advocacy activities, which will increase social action and affect community norms regarding youth tobacco use. YTT youth will attend four session workshops in which they will be educated with presentation skills, tobacco education, industry advertising techniques, and community mobilization. Acquiring this knowledge will strengthen successful application of strategic planned activities such as, mural wall painting, presentations to civic and social organizations, and organizing school rallies. In addition, youth will learn to assess advertising in local stores and how to evaluate existing ordinances and policies. The intended target population is all youth in the community. However, because the City's Parks and Recreation centers are located in primary African American and Hispanic communities, it is anticipated that those youth will be the foremost recipients of the program. This is especially important because research has N" WW shown that African Americans bear the greatest health burden in relation to disease risks directly related to smoking patterns. This project is critical because the San Bernardino region smoking rates in general are higher (20.1) than the state average (18.1). Smoking rate for teens is highest (9.0) in the fourteen to sixteen year old age group. Recent research indicates that previously low smoking rates for African American teens have increased. The City of San Bernardino has established a great working relationship with the school district and the local lead tobacco program Tobacco Use Reduction Now. These relationships will be an asset to the proposed program. The City's Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has seven community centers. Teens use the centers for various activities. The proposed program will expand youth programs available at the centers. The education and training emphasis placed on this tobacco free youth program will help build social and problem solving skills while giving youth a sense of independence and purpose. This effort to foster resiliency skills and deter the continued uptake of cigarette smoking among the teen population will be accomplished by collaboration between the City of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino Unified School District, and San Bernardino County Department of Public Health's Tobacco Use Reduction Now Program. It is a tremendous t 91 opportunity to combine efforts. Each agency has a pre - established commitment to enhance the lives of youth. This program will prepare participants to make reasoned decisions and to be capable to accept social and civic responsibility in the arena of rejecting tobacco influences. It is anticipated that successful implementation of the proposed project will accomplish a 20% increase in tobacco danger awareness among 1000 teens and constituents, and at least 100 teens will commit to social action by rejecting or reducing cigarette use. C. Project Narrative 1. Goals and Objectives The goal of the City of San Bernardino Youth Takin' On Tobacco Project (YTT) Healthy Cities and Communities Project is to protect San Bernardino City youth from tobacco industry tactics and the pursuant uptake of early cigarette usage. A protective factor can be afforded to youth by involving them in a teen coalition, which utilizes tobacco prevention strategies. In concert with Year 2000 Health Goals, the proposed program seeks to reduce health disparities among Americans and will focus on conducting activities through San Bernardino City Parks and Recreation Centers. The centers are located in communities that have been over saturated with billboard and liquor store tobacco advertisements. Teen coalitions will seek to prevent undesirable adoption of smoking behaviors. The coalitions will be educated to build skills that support and prepare them in decision making. This is an opportunity to strategically plan an offense that is directed by youth, for youth, in the city. It will seek to decrease future possibilities of recruitment by tobacco marketing techniques. This approach can certainly achieve success in the reducing the teen smoking epidemic. Increasing independence and teaching problem solving skills, while contributing to community well being will be another great benefit to participants. Youth will be progressed along a readiness continuum in tobacco prevention that begins with limited prevention information and escalates to social action efforts. As a result, youth will demonstrate that they are no longer willing to be victims of tobacco industry targeting. Cigarette consumption in the San Bernardino region is higher than the state average (20.1) as compared to (18.1). The proposed project will build youth capacity, to achieve a desired higher level of action and policy development regarding tobacco use and teens. Teen smoking is a major problem for the entire country. According to the most recent projections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, five million people, now younger than 18, will eventually die of tobacco related illnesses at current smoking rates. The trend in the 90's for increased smoking among teens directs us to possible solutions and interventions that will decrease this undisputed spiraling health problem for teens. The current increases in African American teen smoking behaviors are perplexing. It is our strong belief that a teen directed campaign would garner a tremendous amount of support. This could be the catalyst needed to advance the city into a more ready state for future ordinance development. The objectives of the (YTT) project include: 41 By February 28, 1999, 29 youth will be recruited within the city of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department to form a youth coalition to develop and implement a tobacco prevention campaign to increase by 20% teen tobacco prevention social action in the city. #2 By June 30, 2000, Youth Takin' on Tobacco teens will conduct 10 tobacco prevention advocacy activities to add 1000 teens and city constituents who are exposed to countering pro- tobacco advertising strategies, via three target activities: mural painting of anti - tobacco messages, investigation of sales to minors, and participation in assessments of existing ordinances and tobacco laws as measured by pre /post test surveys. 43 By May 31, 2000 teen coalition members will conduct a Town Hall Forum to announce project results and to solicit input from 100 area teens and city council representatives to inform and obtain information regarding success of project interventions as measured by opinion surveys 2. Intended Target Youth ages 12 -18 years of age residing in the City of San Bernardino will be invited and encouraged to participate in the project. Stipends will be recruited from the City's Parks and Recreation Department to participate in a youth coalition. The coalition will be educated to construct strategic plans for implementation of a teen advocacy prevention campaign. The campaign will consist of rallies, mobilizing and empowering other youth to get involved in taking on tobacco issues. These campaign strategies are consistent with the Surgeon General's Executive Summary Report. The report states that the close association of tobacco along with marketing ploys from the tobacco industry puts communities in a vulnerable position with tobacco control efforts. 3. Needs and Assets Statement The City of San Bernardino Demographics: All youth in the City of San Bernardino will be invited and encouraged to participate in the program. However, the City's Parks and Recreation Community Centers are located in predominately African American and Hispanic areas. The location of the increased prevalence of tobacco use asset to the project because among African American and Hispanic adolescents. In addition, San Bernardino City Schools has offered support of the project. Middle and high school youth throughout the city will be targeted. 4. Project Description The objectives of the (YTT) project include: #1 By February 28, 1999, 29 youth will be recruited within the city of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department to form a youth coalition to develop and implement Tobacco prevention campaign to increase by 20% teen tobacco prevention social action in the city. #2 By June 30, 2000, Youth Takin' on Tobacco teens will conduct 10 tobacco prevention advocacy activities to add 1000 teens and city constituents who are exposed to countering pro- tobacco advertising strategies, via three target activities: mural painting of anti- tobacco messages, investigation of sales to minors, and participation in assessments of existing ordinances and tobacco laws as measured by pre /post test surveys. #3 By May 31, 2000 teen coalition members will conduct a Town Hall Forum to announce project results and to solicit input from 100 area teens and city council representatives to inform and obtain information regarding success of project interventions as measured by opinion surveys Utilizing 3 countering pro- tobacco influence strategies, teens will expose tobacco industry tactics. The strategies include the following activities: • Mural wall painting of anti- tobacco messages • Assessment of sales to minors and local ordinance and policy data collection • Conduct a town hall forum This approach will be successful because it has a built in capacity to elevate youth involvement, build self - esteem, in becoming become involved in community prevention issues by permitting them to become designated "world movers and shakers ". The City past success in this area includes working youth during "Operation Storefront ". Activities from that project left them thirsty for further participation in the education of teens in countering tobacco advertising in their communities. Youth are frequently over looked and under utilized when opportunities arise for enhancement of leadership skills. 5. Evaluation The outcome objectives that have been identified to verify objective results and goal attainment include: Methodologies, which include pre and post testing; survey data and interview collections; and participant opinion surveys, which will measure both qualification observations and quantitative data. Objective #1 Objective 28, 1999, 20 youth will be recruited within The City of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department to participate in a program, which will increase teen support of countering tobacco influences. Recruited youth will be brought together to form a youth coalition to conduct advocacy activities in the city. Objective Evaluation icipants will be pre and post tested. In addition, The c youth coalition part community youth participants and city constituents will be surveyed at advocacy events. ?00*11 The surveys will measure student membership, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding tobacco advertising. It is anticipated that youth participant and constituent surveys will validate that the activities implemented under this program have helped deter youth in the community from pro tobacco influences in the city. Objective 92 By March 30, 2000 Youth Takin on Tobacco (YTT) teens will conduct 10 tobacco prevention advocacy activities. The activities will include a minimum of 1000 teens and city constituents who are exposed to countering pro- tobacco - advertising strategies. Outcome Evaluation At 10 advocacy events, stipends will administer surveys. Assessment data will be collected from local stores and City Hall records. Three varied strategies designed to expose 1000 individuals to countering pro tobacco experiences will facilitate project activity accomplishment. A local evaluator will evaluate this project objective. The Outcome result will be the protection of 12 -18 year olds from tobacco industry tactics and the elimination of teen tobacco use. The intended target for this objective is the youth who, through their activities, will be able to fashion constituent norms that garner support for creating a tobacco free city in San Bernardino. This evaluation outcome will be achieved by utilizing student and constituent surveys regarding their knowledge about industry tactics. The surveys will also assessment youth willingness to resist tobacco company enticement and their commitment to never smoke during their life span. It is anticipated that the teens that have been exposed resistance techniques will be less likely to fall prey to tobacco advertising deception. Evaluation of data collected from local stores, City Hall records and planning departments will be analyzed. The data will provide information that will help develop strategies to decrease minor susceptibility to tobacco advertising. This information will also assist in determining how much support and what kinds of activities appeal and encourage action to protect youth from pro tobacco influences. Objective #3 By May 31, 2000, teen coalition members will conduct a Town Hall Forum to announce and increase dissemination of project results to 100 teens in the city of San Bernardino. Outcome Evaluation 100 youth who attend the YTT Town Hall Forum will be surveyed to assess the impact of advocacy strategy activities implemented as a result of this project. The survey will assess what was liked about program, how participants feel about being targeted by the tobacco industry, and if they would be willing to take action to counter pro - tobacco influence to their communities. Walter Hawkins and Associates has been recommended to evaluate the selected evaluation (number 2). His organization previously contracted with City of San Bernardino to conduct assessments for other grants for social demographic and evaluative purposes. Evaluation expectations include responsibility in assisting with the design of surveys, compilation, of data collection. In addition, cooperation with Healthy Cities Contractee will be expected. 6. Organizational Capability The City of San Bernardino has had the honor of participating with California Healthy Cities and Communities since 1995. Two projects completed were a disaster preparedness project called Survival Actions For Earthquakes (SAFE) and a injury prevention project for bicycle safety. Currently in progress are a Blight Education Project and the Heart Smart Project. Teri Baker, Administrative Analyst II, from the City Administrator's Office will be the main contact for the proposed project. Teri has been involved with all of the City's Healthy Cities Projects. She also represents San Bernardino on the Accelerated Communities Transformation (ACT) Project. ACT is a five -year research project funded by Astra Merck. San Bernardino, in conjunction with Loma Linda University Medical Center, was one of four communities chosen to participate in the project. The project's goal is to achieve and demonstrate measurable improvements in community health and well being. The City's Parks, Recreation and Community Service Department will take the lead role in implementing and coordinating the proposed project. The Department is a municipal agency mandated to provide parks, recreation and social services to the residents of the City. The department operates on an annual budget of over $5 million, with a history of successful administration of both internal operations and federal and state grants. The department has administered HUD and USDA grants for Senior Nutrition and Nutrition for children for seventeen years. Parks and Recreation youth were involved in the first statewide Operation Storefront Project for the State Department of Health Services in 1995. The data these youth collected along with youth from local churches provided valuable information about local store merchants and their practices. The department has a long history of community collaboration and has worked with the Healthy Cities Projects for over three years. In addition, the department has had extensive experience in recruiting teens, conducting teen events and evaluating teen services through coordination with numerous teen clubs and programs offered through the department. The department has developed and implemented extended social and recreational services at numerous school sites through Healthy Start. The operational requirements will include the assignment of staff to serve as a Teen Advocate Coordinator and the hiring and supervising of Teen Advocates, as described in the budget section of the proposal. San Bernardino County Department of Public Health's Local Lead Tobacco Use Reduction Now (T.U.R.N) will provide technical assistance to the City throughout the project period. T.U.R.N will provide all of the necessary training for the youth and the youth coordinator. 7.

Project Abstract The City of San Bernardino Youth Taken on Tobacco ( YTT) Project is designed to involve youth in developing resiliency skills through community advocacy and activism. Participants will be recruited from the City's existing community centers to participate in a youth coalition that will develop and implement an advocacy strategic plan to reduce pro - tobacco influences on teens. Participants will be exposed to anti - tobacco advocacy activities, which will increase social action and affect community norms regarding youth tobacco use. YTT youth will attend four session workshops in which they will be educated with presentation skills, tobacco education, industry advertising techniques, and community mobilization. Acquiring this knowledge will strengthen successful application of strategic planned activities such as, mural wall painting, presentations to civic and social organizations, and organizing school rallies. In addition, youth will learn to assess advertising in local stores and how to evaluate existing ordinances and policies. The intended target population is all youth in the community. However, because the City's Parks and Recreation centers are located in primary African American and Hispanic communities, it is anticipated that those youth will be the foremost recipients of the program.

The City past success in this area includes working youth during "Operation Storefront ". Activities from that project left them thirsty for further participation in the education of teens in countering tobacco advertising in their communities. Youth are frequently over looked and under utilized when opportunities arise for enhancement of leadership skills. 5. Evaluation The outcome objectives that have been identified to verify objective results and goal attainment include: Methodologies, which include pre and post testing; survey data and interview collections; and participant opinion surveys, which will measure both qualification observations and quantitative data. Objective #1 By February 28, 1999, 20 youth will be recruited within The City of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department to participate in a program, which will increase teen support of countering tobacco influences. Recruited youth will be brought together to form a youth coalition to conduct advocacy activities in the city. Objective Evaluation The 20 youth coalition participants will be pre and post tested. In addition, community youth participants and city constituents will be surveyed at advocacy events. The surveys will measure student membership, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding tobacco advertising. It is anticipated that youth participant and constituent surveys will validate that the activities implemented under this program have helped deter youth in the community from pro tobacco influences in the city. Objective #2 By March 30, 2000 Youth Takin on Tobacco (YTT) teens will conduct 10 tobacco prevention advocacy activities. The activities will include a minimum of 1000 teens and city constituents who are exposed to countering pro- tobacco - advertising strategies. Outcome Evaluation At 10 advocacy events, stipends will administer surveys. Assessment data will be collected from local stores and City Hall records. Three varied strategies designed to expose 1000 individuals to countering pro tobacco experiences will facilitate project activity accomplishment. A local evaluator will evaluate this project objective. The Outcome result will be the protection of 12 -18 year olds from tobacco industry tactics and the elimination of teen tobacco use. The intended target for this objective is the youth who, through their activities, will be able to fashion constituent norms that garner support for creating a tobacco free city in San Bernardino. This evaluation outcome will be achieved by utilizing student and N%M— constituent surveys regarding their knowledge about industry tactics. The surveys will also assessment youth willingness to resist tobacco company enticement and their commitment to never smoke during their life span. It is anticipated that the teens that have been exposed resistance techniques will be less likely to fall prey to tobacco advertising deception. Evaluation of data collected from local stores, City Hall records and planning departments will be analyzed. The data will provide information that will help develop strategies to decrease minor susceptibility to tobacco advertising. This information will also assist in determining how much support and what kinds of activities appeal and encourage action to protect youth from pro tobacco influences. Objective #3 By May 31, 2000, teen coalition members will conduct a Town Hall Forum to announce and increase dissemination of project results to 100 teens in the city of San Bernardino. Outcome Evaluation 100 youth who attend the YTT Town Hall Forum will be surveyed to assess the impact of advocacy strategy activities implemented as a result of this project. The survey will assess what was liked about program, how participants AF feel about being targeted by the tobacco industry, and if they would be willing to take action to counter pro - tobacco influence to their communities. Walter Hawkins and Associates has been recommended to evaluate the selected evaluation (number 2). His organization previously contracted with City of San Bernardino to conduct assessments for other grants for social demographic and evaluative purposes. Evaluation expectations include responsibility in assisting with the design of surveys, compilation, of data collection. In addition, cooperation with Healthy Cities Contractee will be expected. 6. Organizational Capability The City of San Bernardino has had the honor of participating with California Healthy Cities and Communities since 1995. Two projects completed were a disaster preparedness project called Survival Actions For Earthquakes (SAFE) and a injury prevention project for bicycle safety. Currently in progress are a Blight Education Project and the Heart Smart Project. Teri Baker, Administrative Analyst II, from the City Administrator's Office will be the main contact for the proposed project. Teri has been involved with all of the City's Healthy Cities Projects. She also represents San Bernardino on the Accelerated Communities Transformation (ACT) Project. ACT is a five -year research project funded by Astra Merck. San Bernardino, in conjunction with Loma Linda University Medical Center, was one of four communities chosen to participate in the project. The project's goal is to achieve and demonstrate measurable improvements in community health and well being. The City's Parks, Recreation and Community Service Department will take the lead role in implementing and coordinating the proposed project. The Department is a municipal agency mandated to provide parks, recreation and social services to the residents of the City. The department operates on an annual budget of over $5 million, with a history of successful administration of both internal operations and federal and state grants. The department has administered HUD and USDA grants for Senior Nutrition and Nutrition for children for seventeen years. Parks and Recreation youth were involved in the first statewide Operation Storefront Project for the State Department of Health Services in 1995. The data these youth collected along with youth from local churches provided valuable information about local store merchants and their practices. The department has a long history of community collaboration and has worked with the Healthy Cities Projects for over three years. In addition, the department has had extensive experience in recruiting teens, conducting teen events and evaluating teen services through coordination with numerous teen clubs and programs offered through the department. The department has developed and implemented extended social and recreational services at numerous school sites through Healthy Start. The operational requirements will include the assignment of staff to serve as a Teen Advocate Coordinator and the hiring and supervising of Teen Advocates, as described in the budget section of the proposal. San Bernardino County Department of Public Health's Local Lead Tobacco Use Reduction Now (T.U.R.N) will provide technical assistance to the City throughout the project period. T.U.R.N will provide all of the necessary training for the youth and the youth coordinator. 7. Collaborating Organizations The City Administrator's Office and Parks and Recreation Department will collaborate with Tobacco Use Reduction Now and San Bernardino City Schools. Please see attachments 1 and 2, letters of support from T.U.R.N. and the San Bernardino City School District. 8. Level of Funding Requested The City of San Bernardino is requesting $25,000 to implement the Youth Takin' On Tobacco Project. C) 0 0) rn a) rn ° o C) 0 O y C) c M — ce) 75 -0 C U M co M I a) L C ..

D Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 Dear Ms. Baker: We salute the City of San Bernardino in their submission of a grant to Healthy Cities Project Youth Takin" On Tobacco (YTT). In as much as they have successfully implemented other Healthy Cities Projects and now wish to further expand their efforts to encourage youth to get involved in the Tobacco prevention arena, we commit to offering our support and collaboration of prevention efforts. Our school district is especially concerned about the alarming rates of increased teen smoking activity. A partnership with the City of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department to ` involve students ages (12 -18) in presentations, town hall meetings and assessments of tobacco advertising in the city, is a probable opportunity to increase resiliency in young people. Our Tobacco prevention district coordinator is Jimmi Mitchell and she will be looking forward to assisting the city of San Bernardino in collaborating with the coalitions youth to promote a tobacco free city.

Tobacco Use Reduction Now program staff anxiously awaits the opportunity to provide training and technical assistance to the city of San Bernardino, for implementation of the Healthy Cities "Youth Takin' On Tobacco (YTT) Project. This grant funding would create an exciting potential for our program and the city Parks and Recreation Department to further join forces in building youth resiliency skills. In the past, we have collaborated on implementing "Operation Storefront" and "Unite as one Youth Rallies." These have been admirable skirmishes in the local war waged against the tobacco industry practices that encourage under -age smoking. The proposed project expands youth visibility and involvement in tobacco prevention activities in the city, and enhances protective factors that keep youth safe from the use of tobacco products and early addiction. We expect our collaboration will be highly beneficial, especially for the children of San Bernardino who are recruited to participate in project activities. They will undoubtedly provide a valuable service to their peers as well as to their community. Our TURN staff liaison to the city has been Beverly Jones - Wright, and we will provide whatever additional assistance is needed to ensure the success of the YTT Project.
