Fifty state and local coalitions that carry out the Smoke Free Class of 2000 program of the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association and American Lung Association were surveyed in 1990. Almost all (95%) rated themselves moderately or very active and a total of 88 900 second grade teachers were estimated to have received the materials. The availability of funds, competing priorities, lack of coordination, differences in agency service areas and personnel availability were most frequently cited as areas of concern to the coalitions. Personnel barriers and formality of coalition structure were independently related to perceived coalition effectiveness and, with the number of elementary schools, to perceived coalition activity. General recommendations, that were accepted upon completion of the assessment, included (1) formalization of agreements, mission statements, and goals and objectives, (2) attention to group formation and identification, and (3) clarification of national coalition expectations.
