Through experiential training methods, participants will be able to demonstrate how to use a variety of behavioral interventions, from motivational interviewing to cognitive behavior therapy to mindfulness practice. The training will also practice how understanding cultural differences can improve behavioral counseling outcomes.

Medication strategies for tobacco use continue to evolve, with the use of pre-quit treatment, extended treatment, low-dose varenicline, high-dose nicotine, and combination treatment. Most medical providers are unaware of how or when to use these effective approaches.

 

This training is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and tobacco treatment specialists who work with smoking cessation medications and would benefit from an understanding of the current research guiding smoking cessation pharmacotherapy. The course will provide an overview of the neurobiology that gives rise to nicotine dependence and how various medications impact that neurobiology. We will provide guidance on treatment that is relevant to most clinicians including:

​

  • approaches to varenicline use that maximize efficacy and minimize side effects;

  • use of combination medication treatment

  • evidence for the use of pre-quit smoking cessation medications

  • use of extended post-quit medications

  • and the use of adaptive treatment

 

We explore specific cases, such as use of tobacco treatment medications in hospitalized patients, surgical patients, acute cardiac care, renal failure, cancer treatment, e-cigarette use, oral tobacco use, and adolescent treatment, as well as treatment of light-intermittent smokers and high-dependence smokers. The course is designed to provide practical guidance for clinicians and lead to real change in clinical practice.​

This course is designed for both healthcare and non-healthcare professionals who work with youth and young adults who would like a deeper and more practical understanding of the problem of tobacco use among young people, and opportunities to prevent and treat tobacco use and its sequelae. Grounded in a developmental framework, the course will explore the neurobiological and neurodevelopmental underpinnings of tobacco use and addiction among youth, the physiological and broader health impacts of use, the current prevalence of use and opportunities for community-based prevention, and essential clinical skills and resources involved in treating tobacco use disorders at the point of care, including behavioral and medication treatments.


Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the scope of tobacco use among adolescents and young adults, including the varied types of use and key trends over time 

  • Frame tobacco prevention and treatment within the neurodevelopmental context of adolescence 

  • Identify opportunities for primary prevention of tobacco use among children and youth 

  • Delineate practical strategies and evidence-based tools for screening for and assessing tobacco use among adolescents and young adults in busy clinical settings 

  • List key medication and behavioral treatment options for youth using tobacco 

  • Devise concrete approaches to addressing operational challenges in providing tobacco treatment to youth across a range of settings
