This paper describes events and experiences of a politically mandated support program designed to facilitate adoption and implementation of smoking control policies at public sector worksites in Stockholm, Sweden. The support program utilized a three-pronged community organization strategy including informational, enabling and training components. Participation in the program and implementation process was monitored at all public sector worksites including the 17 human service districts. In-place health promotion programs and organizational climate were also assessed using semi-structured interviews with key informants at the human service districts. Sixteen of the 17 districts had adopted smoking control policies (designated smoking areas) at the close of the program. A parallel tendency was observed for policy implementation and health promotion, i.e. generally the high-ranking districts for implementation also ranked high for health promotion. No linkages were noted for organizational climate. Follow up shows occupation-specific patterns that may indicate a need for stress reduction components in conjunction with cessation programs and/or worksite smoking control policies. Furthermore, specific tools for assessing organizational climate need to be developed and refined as do strategies and models.
