How to Talk with Patients about Smoking Cessation and Substance Use Disorders

To begin this activity, click the yellow "Select" button at the top right of the page.
Please read this page and scroll to the bottom to continue to the course.

Activity Description
Smoking rates among people with substance use disorders are high. Contrary to popular belief, many smokers with substance use disorders want to quit and can quit successfully, and skills gained through quitting smoking can enhance recovery from other substances. Experts in addiction treatment will:

Describe a national study of tobacco use among patients enrolled in addiction treatment, together with other community-based research projects
Discuss patient, program, and policy strategies to reduce tobacco use in addiction treatment populations

This activity is an archived recording of a live webinar and is 1 hour in length.

Target Audience
This course is designed for physicians and other health care providers interested in the most current research surrounding smoking cessation and substance use disorders.

Method of Participation
The estimated time to complete this activity is 1 hour. To obtain credit, participants should view the presentation, answer the multiple-choice post test questions, and complete the evaluation form online to receive a certificate online immediately upon completion.

Educational Objectives

Following completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:

Discuss the evidence regarding tobacco use among patients enrolled in addiction treatment
Discuss patient, program, and policy strategies to reduce tobacco use in addiction treatment populations
Identify and implement evidence-based treatment for treating tobacco dependence.

Statement of Need

Substance use disorders are common among smokers, as two nationally representative population surveys found prevalence rates between 34-68%. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of persons with substance use disorders want to quit smoking and want information on cessation services and resources. Furthermore, persons in this population can successfully quit using tobacco; in a review of 24 studies, the recorded quit rates of patients with mental illness or addictive disorders were similar to those of the general population.

There are treatment gaps in clinical practice surrounding smoking cessation and substance use disorders. Many clinicians lack time, resources, and knowledge to talk with their patients about the health effects of tobacco use, how to quit and stay quit, and where to refer them for additional help. As a result, there are missed opportunities to provide effective cessation treatment to those who would benefit from quitting smoking. This course addresses the gaps in treatment by providing clinicians with practical tips and tools on how to address tobacco use with smokers with substance use disorders.
