Description
The Tobacco Settlement Proceeds Act, a referendum passed by Arkansans in the November 2000 election, invests Arkansas' share of the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement funds in seven health-related programs. RAND was contracted to evaluate the progress of the seven programs in fulfilling their missions, as well as the effects of the programs on smoking and other health-related outcomes. This report charts the progress of each program, including assessing progress in achieving long-range goals established by the programs in 2005, tracking the programs' process measures, and assessing performance on a set of program management integrity criteria. The report also updates trends in outcome measures developed to monitor effects of the funded programs on smoking and other health-related outcomes. Finally, it provides program-specific and across-program recommendations for future activities and funding.
