“…Data were collected using The Tobacco-free Compliance Assessment Tool (TF-CAT), a validated direct observation method. 22,23 Cigarette butts were collected from four hotspot locations on campus grounds on three consecutive days. Due to weather conditions and scheduling logistics, it was not always possible to collect cigarette butts at the same time each day.…”

Objective Assess impact and feasibility of a Tobacco-free Ambassador Program on campus policy compliance. Participants Trained Ambassadors made 253 visits to campus sites over 15-months to observe and/or approach violators. Methods Policy violators were observed at 23 locations during Wave 1 (April-June 2012) and/or Wave 2 (April-June 2013). For locations with at least 5 visits, average violators per visit were compared between two Waves using a paired t-test. Attributes of violators were summarized. Cigarette butts were collected over 3-day periods in four campus hotspots during each Wave. Personnel time and cost to implement the program were determined. Results There were declines in observed violators per Ambassador visit and number of cigarette butts over time. Rate of violators per visit declined from 5.47 to 1.93, a 65% decrease. Personnel time was equal to 1.5 FTE annually. Conclusions The Ambassador Program was a feasible and potentially effective strategy to increase policy compliance.

“…20 In addition, researchers note the importance of measuring the effectiveness of the policy dissemination methods. 25 Finally, we examined research on campus sexual assault prevention programs, as these studies offer insights into methods that have been applied to teach students about campus sexual assault and the ways in which they can help to prevent it that might be useful when applied to the teaching of sexual misconduct policies. It is important to note that there are different goals between disseminating campus policy information and the administration of programs to reduce campus sexual assault.…”
