As a preliminary step to designing a health education curriculum for Anglo-American, Hispanic, and Native American children from rural areas of New Mexico, a self-report questionnaire designed to measure tobacco use, exposure and attitudes was administered to 204 boys and girls in fifth-grade classes in six schools. Substantial differences in smoking and smokeless tobacco use were found for children who differed in age, ethnicity, and gender. This suggests a possible need to design tobacco use curricula tailored to the specific groups being taught.
