Popis: Evaluation of program implementation can help illuminate negative results of school-based smoking prevention programs. In three conventional quasiexperimental evaluations, no statistically significant impacts of smoking prevention programs on children's knowledge, attitudes, intentions, or behavior were detected. Complementary evaluations of program implementation along several dimensions using naturalistic methods suggested reasons for null effects were different at each site. These data were used to form hypotheses and recommendations for future interventions.
