Further to the Discussion of Cost-Benefit in Health Promotion

We are publishing a cost-benefit analysis of the impact of school-based
smoking prevention program that shows one dollar invested saves 15
dollars in health care and other costs. The study was led by Tom
Stephens and Murray Kaiserman at Health Canada. It will be available for
distribution after it appears in the Amer Journal of Public Health.

We used a similar CDC study in meetings with Preston Manning's office,
They were very interested and requested follow-up information several
times after our meeting.

We also have a few disparate studies of the benefits of school-based
prevention that are primarily American.
