[Anti-tobacco education programs for children and youth at different stages of schooling].
Anti-tobacco education programmes for children and youth, developed at the National Research Institute of Mother and Child, are presented. The targets and goals of elaboration and implementation of these programmes are discussed. The four programmes contribute to a continuum of anti-tobacco education from preschool to secondary school. For each programme, the elaborated educational objectives, curriculum structure and methodology are presented. Problems related to evaluation of health promotion programmes are discussed in relation to the requirements of evidence-based medicine. Results of pilot programme implementation are presented. The programmes have been accepted by teachers, pupils and parents and can be implemented in the reformed education system in Poland.
