This week in the Ontario Health Promotion Email (OHPE) Bulletin issue #378,
there is a feature article by the Program Training and Consultation Centre
(PTCC) reporting on campaigns to promote smoke-free homes in four pilot-site
communities in Ontario in 2003/04. The article focuses on Northwestern
Health Unit--Kenora District and its separate evaluation that consisted of a
telephone survey conducted before and after their smoke-free homes campaign.
Additional resources (3 organizational contacts, 4 websites, PTCC pint
resources and a video) accompany the article in a separate message.
And as always in the OHPE Bulletin, there's more events, news and job
postings in health promotion to catch up on. Below is a list of the contents
of each of the three messages, with links to the online OHPE
database/issues. Check it out, and consider contributing your own news or
