Abstract: Ohio is implementing strategies identified by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention to
reduce youth access to tobacco products through a multi-state agency and community
collaboration. This unique collaboration is built upon existing systems for alcohol, tobacco and
other drug prevention through the Ohio Departments of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services
(ODADAS), Health (ODH) and Public Safety (ODPS). The interactive presentation will focus
on enforcement, merchant and public education, media advocacy and community mobilization
strategies and will be most beneficial to public health professionals, law enforcement, state and
local compliance program coordinators, tobacco use prevention educators and community
coalition advocates. Topics will include the tobacco settlement award to ODPS for enforcement,
of which ten percent ($127,000), is used for education and training. This includes the “Sober
Truth” program that educates approximately 35,000 students annually about alcohol and tobacco
laws. Additionally, the audience will learn how Ohio uses commissioned police officers to
provide training to merchants in the calculation of age and identification of false/fake IDs. The
development of media campaigns with sports teams and celebrities, collaboration with Ohio’s
135 anti-drug community coalitions who assist with merchant education and community
mobilization, ODADAS’ partnership with ODPS and ODH for the Synar Program and the public
health perspective of ODH’s prevention and education activities will also be presented.
Supplemental materials will be distributed.
