Curriculum for Student and Community Groups

Mayo Outreach to Students and Teachers is a community youth health and wellness outreach program sponsored by Mayo Clinic, and conduced by volunteer health care professionals who are dedicated to promoting health and preventing disease among young people. One of the key programs run by MOST is the tobacco education program, which is now available for public use.

MOST tobacco education presentations are an interactive, creative way to promote healthy decision-making. The materials are designed to encourage group participation, lead discussions and provide visual aids to augment activities.

Content is age-appropriate, and is ideal for both classroom use and for community groups. The flexible design of the presentations and related material make them easy to present.
