Young people and youth prevention • is popular
Youth prevention • is popular • on the agenda Increasing awareness of the harms of tobacco 3.30 While we will maintain our focus on reducing tobacco use among adults, as the foundation for reducing smoking among young people, we will also look at new possibilities to communicate with young people about tobacco. We will examine the potential for new technology and media to create fresh methods of passing on information about the harm of taking up smoking and the benefits of creating a smokefree future. Today: the key to success is trust

The Kamayoqs Animal husbandry in the Andes To begin with, people were mistrustful. They were used to a vertical relationship with state agencies, even with development agencies. For them, a vet was someone who turns up in a car wearing good boots and a new jacket and says: ‘This is what we’re going’. What most characterises ITDG’s work is our great emphasis on local culture. We think change has to be rooted in campesino institutions otherwise it won’t be sustainable. trained local innovators in animal husbandry – kamayoqs (Quechua for ‘knowledge bearers’)
The Kamayoqs The power of kamayoqs is palpable “I used to take orders from my husband and sometimes he was violent. In the past women didn’t have rights. I began to think this has to change. I started to respect myself more. My husband got very uncomfortable. He said: ‘Whatever you’re learning, it’s no good for this household because you’re answering me back. You’re not respectful any more since you’ve been running around.’ In a friendly way, I told him I’m taking better care of the animals. I don’t waste money getting them cured. Now he says carry on.”
The Kamayoqs Three great strengths: Effective (‘one of us’) trust Efficient: local labour + lower costs Sustainable: stay in the community – a movement, not an intervention All these lessons can be applied to tobacco We need Kamayoqs

Helen Setting: the King’s Head Characters: Dave, my pal; Catriona his wife and Helen the landlady “remember, Catriona has had her hair done”
The essence of marketing What people need not what we think they need: Helen sells marital harmony (and beer) Her focus is on relationships In a malevolent, manipulative way, this is what the tobacco industry does. They don’t sell nicotine to young people, they sell hope, adulthood, rebellion… We too should learn to let go and listen Build our relationships with young people, smokers, stakeholders not just sell them stuff…
The essence of marketing Enter ‘Community-based Prevention Marketing’ (Bryant et al 2007) Combines community development: mobilization; working with people to define problems + assets; build capacity to deliver and monitor change with social marketing ideas: “satisfying exchanges and an integrated strategy based on marketing’s four Ps – product, price, place, and promotion), competitive analysis, audience segmentation, use of formative research to make strategic decisions, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation” Takes Helen and the Kamayoqs to scale *
