This study describes a qualitative, cross-sectional evaluation of the Tar Wars tobacco prevention program among 5th-grade students (n = 888), along with impressions from classroom teachers and program presenters.

Students enjoyed the program and indicated understanding of key themes, classroom teachers stated that the program was worthwhile in presenting unique information, and presenters were enthusiastic about the ease of presentation and opportunities for future presentations.
