This document summarizes the findings of a randomized controlled trial that evaluated the effectiveness of Cancer Focus NI's "Dead Cool" smoking prevention program in Northern Ireland schools. The trial found that, compared to the control group, students who received the Dead Cool program had lower carbon monoxide levels in exhaled breath and were less likely to report intentions to smoke soon or in the next year. Interviews also suggested that the program increased students' awareness of tobacco marketing and factors influencing smoking choices. The authors conclude that Dead Cool shows promise as an effective smoking prevention program for younger teenagers.
