Multicenter Study[Development of a Checklist to Assess School Smoking Policy].
The school system is an established setting for behavioural and environmental tobacco prevention activities. Most research on the effectiveness of tobacco prevention has been conducted with regard to behavioural approaches, knowledge about school smoking policy is lacking. ⋯ Its reliability was tested with 42 Bavarian schools and 607 schools from Hesse. The checklist allows to measure school smoking policy in a reliable and action-oriented manner.

Multicenter Study[The quality assurance programme of the statutory health insurance funds in medical rehabilitation: results and further developments].
This study reports on the results of the quality assurance programme of the statutory health insurance funds in medical rehabilitation (QS Reha programme) and on the further development of the programme in 2007 to 2008. By October 2008, a total of 240 rehabilitation centres with 283 specialised departments were participating in the QS-Reha programme. ⋯ The preliminary results of the programme provide a comprehensive view of the quality of medical rehabilitation. Limitations exist concerning evidence-based structural quality criteria, methodological problems of patient-reported outcomes and the occurrence of non-responders and dropouts. The reworking of the QS Reha programme pursued the goal of improving the cost-benefit ratio of compiling data without impairing the methodological soundness of the programme. The new concept is scheduled to be implemented routinely beginning in 2009.
