Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program (TUPE)

The purpose of the TUPE program is to reduce youth tobacco use by helping them make healthful tobacco-related decisions through tobacco-specific educational instruction and activities that build knowledge as well as social skills and youth development assets.

Collaboration with community-based tobacco control programs is an integral part of program planning. The school, parents and the larger community must be involved in the program so that students will be aware of a cohesive effort and concern for their health and, consequently, their ability to succeed in school. The Contra Costa County Office of Education provides technical assistance to school districts to develop and implement effective tobacco education programs.
