This course has been developed by national experts and is based on current research and clinical practice. The audience for this course includes physicians, other health care providers, mental health and substance use treatment professionals, tobacco dependence treatment specialists, tobacco quitlines and health program administrators seeking to adapt services.
The course has two modules, containing the key points from all modules, and takes a total of about 1 hour to complete:
