| The LSU Shreveport Department of Kinesiology and Health Science received an $18,000 grant from the Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living, an Affiliated Program of the Louisiana Public Health Institute.
The grant will be used to train eight Community Health majors to become Peer Health Educators. The program will allow eight to ten additional Students Health Advisors to design anti-smoking modules and present them to various student groups. The students will conduct marketing and advertisement activities, exhibit at the annual health fair, contribute articles to the University student newspaper “Almagest” and identify individuals interested in smoking cessation programs. Finally, six of the program participants will be selected to be a part of the Freedom from Smoking Facilitator Training program.
Dr. Timothy Winter, chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science, is the recipient of this grant. |
