School Based Air Quality Assessment Program
Funded by the Sacramento and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management Districts, this research, education and advocacy project is designed to allow students to conduct a scientific research project while learning about air quality issues. Through this multi-step scientific study, students determine the air quality at their schools and build strategies to promote change, based on their research findings.
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!, more commonly known as TUTD, is a powerful program developed to reduce the negative influence that tobacco use in the movies has upon young people.

Their work is utilized as a research tool by universities, public health officials and tobacco control advocates and is provided to key entertainment industry leaders.
