Description of CME Course
Smoking is the number one preventable cause of mortality in the U.S. Clinician intervention for tobacco use and dependence is one of the most cost-effective interventions in health care. All clinicians play an important role in influencing and helping smokers to quit. Additional evidence shows that training community providers who are not professionals to briefly counsel smokers promotes quitting behavior. This modules demonstrates that quitting is not an “event,” but a stepwise “process” that is a primary training goal.
