“…Modifications also had to be made for large Chinese classes with perhaps some loss of supervision over small group activities. On the whole, however, the Socratic-style program delivery and specific intervention activities remained similar to the US version [19].…”

“…To date, PR-TTAURC and CSCS researchers have developed and implemented two school-based tobacco prevention trials for adolescents, the first in Wuhan [19] and second in Chengdu [20,21]. The municipal public health departments in both cities volunteered to have the programs developed and tested in their cities.…”

Chronic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have surpassed infectious diseases as the primary cause of death and disability in most developing nations. Nowhere is this more evident than in China where NCDs account for 80% of all deaths and skyrocketing medical costs. Driving the escalation of NCDs are high rates of tobacco use, longer life spans, and changes in the traditional Chinese diet and lifestyle bolstered by unprecedented economic growth and the new global culture. Despite the epidemic of NCDs, few evidencebased interventions either to prevent or retard their progression exist in China. We present a case for the development and adoption of such strategies as effective tools to combat China's greatest health threat. Finally, we offer an example of a collaborative network linking Chinese public health and academic institutions with US researchers to promote the translation of western evidence-based interventions that fully incorporate local knowledge, culture, and capacity. KeywordsNoncommunicable disease, Tobacco control, China, Evidence-based As low-and middle-income countries industrialize, urbanize, and integrate features of western culture with their traditional lifestyle, rates of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) rise and portend alarming trends for the future. Globally, 35 million deaths annually are attributable to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and cancer with 80% of these occurring in developing nations [1]. In resource-poor developing nations where healthcare systems are often woefully underfunded, understaffed, and in flux, population-based approaches to combating NCDs may produce the greatest and most cost-effective results. The value of incorporating evidence-based, prevention-focused strategies that can be rolled out into communities has been demonstrated in developed nations [2]. To date, however, very few evidence-based approaches for health risk behavior modification have been utilized in economically developing nations [3].

“…We conducted a review and found only a few studies conducted in China (published in Chinese or English) that have been guided by a specific behavioral theory [27,31,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. In addition, we found only one etiological study to date among those conducted in China that used the Theory of Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior as the guiding theoretical framework [47][48][49].…”

“…Smoking during adolescence is a prime example of how peers influence behavior (Kobus, 2003). Evidence-based smoking prevention programs target these social influences by changing perceptions of smoking prevalence, changing prosmoking norms and beliefs, and increasing the perception that smoking is not positively viewed by their peers (Chou et al, 2006;Graham, Marks, & Hansen, 1991;.…”

Introduction: Smoking prevention interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing smoking prevalence in the United States. Further work is needed to address smoking in China, where over one third of the world's current smokers reside. China, with more than 60% of the male population being smokers, also presents a unique opportunity to test cognitive processes involved in depression, social influences, and smoking. Adolescents at-risk for developing depression may process social information differently from low-risk counterparts. Methods:The Wuhan Smoking Prevention Trial was a schoolbased longitudinal randomized controlled trial aimed at preventing initiation and escalation of adolescent smoking behaviors. Thousand three hundred and ninety-one male seventh-grade students were assessed with a 200-item paperand-pencil baseline survey, and it was readministered 1 year later following program implementation.
