Content
|
The overall goal of this course is to train future physicians to use evidence-based smoking cessation treatments and to understand smoking cessation research so that they will be able to interpret such evidence throughout their careers. We will place a special emphasis on underserved and specific subgroups of smokers (e.g., low-income, racial minorities, mental health status).
Â* Evidence-based practice for treating tobacco dependence
o Treatment plans
o Pharmacotherapy
o Counseling, including motivational interviewing
o Community-based interventions such as quit lines
Â* Specific subpopulations of smokers
Â* Use of health systems to enhance treatment of tobacco users
o Electronic health records
Â* Community-participatory research in subpopulations of smokers
