Welcome to “Breathe: Healthy Steps to Living Tobacco Free!” Breathe is a program funded by the Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Commission (TPC). Partner organizations who have completed a Breathe training may access and utilize the following digital materials. (If your organization has not completed a Breathe training or would like hard copies of these materials, please contact Tanya Shelburne at tanyas@healthedpros.org.) Our Breathe Flyer and Breathe Promotional video provide additional information about Breathe and the Breathe kits.

Parent Surveys
Parent/Guardian surveys help us collect meaningful data, improve the Breathe program, and give you another opportunity to bring up the topic of tobacco! There are multiple ways these surveys can be administered, and they can be completed at any time during the year (before or after providing tobacco education).
The short survey asks questions about tobacco use and exposure, desire to quit, and whether or not they have received tobacco education. As an incentive, any parent/guardian who completes a survey (and provides their contact information) will be entered into our quarterly drawing for a $50 Walmart gift card!
If someone requests help with quitting on their survey (and provides contact information), we will follow up to offer support and resources, including Quit Now Indiana information.
These surveys could be completed at enrollment night, during parent-teacher conferences, at home visits, in one-on-one or group settings, or shared in an email, newsletter or on social media.
- Surveys can be filled out online in English OR online in Spanish
- OR print out and post this Parent/Guardian Survey QR Code Flyer and direct parents to scan the QR code with their smartphone to take the survey.
- Here is sample text you could put in your organization’s newsletter or in an email to the families you serve: “Parents/Guardians…please take a few minutes to fill out a short survey from our tobacco education partner! Any parent/guardian who completes a survey (and provides their contact information) will be entered into a quarterly drawing for a $50 Walmart gift card! You can find the survey in English here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BreatheParentEnglish or in Spanish here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BreatheParentSpanish“
