Dear Penney:

I would be very interested in obtaining a copy of your bibliography.

The Capital Health Authority (covering Edmonton, AB and surrounding
muncipaliites) conducted a pubic opinion survey last fall to assess public
opinion on banning smoking in a variety of public locations including
restaurants, bars, recreation facilities, hospitals, workplaces. The survey
also assessed public knowledge of secondhand smoke, beliefs about what
smokers might do and opinions about helping people quit. As part of our
evaluation of our bylaw campaign we will repeat the survey to see if public
attitudes, knowledge and beliefs have changed. We are planning a bylaw
campaign in the next month.

The survey was developed by for the Calgary Tobacco Reduction Alliance by
Karen Then of the University of Calgary and was first used in Calgary. For
more information regarding the instument contact:

Subject:        Evaluation of smoking ban in public places campaign


Hello to all,
I am developing a bibliography for a public health Unit as they plan for an
evaluation of their communication campaign to support the phase in of bylaws
banning smoking in restaurants, bowling centres, bars, bingo halls,  etc.
They are interested in what evaluations have been done with audiences like
the general public, restaurant and hospitality owners and staff, media, etc.
And methods, indicators and instruments used to measure awareness,
attitudes, knowledge and compliance with bylaws.  I would appreciate any
further leads - I have already developed a bibliography from searching the
usual indexes such as Medline and Sociofile.  Let me know if you would like
a copy sent as an Word attachment.

Thanks, Penney Kirby
