Develop and test an online survey to assess campus readiness to adopt smoke- and tobacco-free (SF/TF) policies. Key informants (N = 18) at four campuses in Kentucky without a SF/TF policy recruited April 2015. Cross-sectional design. The survey assessed six dimensions: knowledge about SF/TF policies; leadership for campus policy; resources for policy development; campus climate surrounding tobacco issues; existing tobacco policies; and political climate for campus policy development. Dimension raw scores were rescaled to range from 0-1 and summed to determine overall stage of readiness (0-6). Political climate was highest dimension across all campuses (0.83-1.0). Knowledge dimension ranked lowest (0.0-0.50). Overall readiness scores ranged from 2.53-3.94; two campuses in preplanning and two in preparation. Development of the online measure is timely considering the impetus to implement SF/TF policies. Findings reinforce that campuses are at varying stages of implementing these policies, and stage-based interventions are necessary.
