The Better Practices Toolkit (2003 – 2006) was designed to help tobacco control practitioners in Ontario make the best use of limited resources when planning a successful tobacco control initiative.
The Toolkit includes:

• 31 tobacco control projects that experts had assessed as either ‘recommended’ or ‘promising’
• 2 Lessons Learned from tobacco control programs that were ‘not recommended’
• 3 Program Checklists to help assess whether programs being considered for implementation align with evidence from systematic reviews of the tobacco control literature

Each resource in the toolkit provides program materials that can be used or revised for tobacco control activities at the community level.

All resources that are included in the Better Practices Toolkit are searchable within our website’s resource section, and can be browsed on the BPT Resource List.  Here you can download program checklists, materials and more detailed descriptions for each project.
