HPCDP worked with county health departments to conduct the Tobacco-free Properties Policy Evaluation in Counties (ToPPEC) evaluation project. ToPPEC was guided by a user panel that included TPEP coordinators and HPCDP staff. A policy change model was developed to illustrate the steps that lead to policy adoption and implementation. The model, along with evaluation findings and suggested tools for each stage, are posted below.
