Title: Right message at the right time: Evaluation of CE Programs
* Audience:
Individuals at all levels of experience interested in systems change for effective health education programs.
* Key Points:
Time is a critical variable in the treatment of tobacco use, in terms of both acquiring the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to implement a brief intervention as well as interacting with clients and patients in point-of-care settings to impact health outcomes. The combination of HCP curriculum with the CS2day resources resulted in 290 new health and human service providers in Arizona added to the index of tobacco control advocates with incentives and commitment to interact with their patients and clients to prevent and abstain from long-term tobacco use.
* Educational Experience:
The audience will be able to plan effective health education programs, implement health education programs, evaluate the effectiveness of health education programs, coordinate the provision of health education services and act as a resource person in health education, as well as practice a low intensity/brief tobacco treatment intervention to people unwilling/willing to set a quit date using an evidence-based algorithm.
* Benefits:
The impact of these CME programs will undoubtedly result in positive outcomes for numerous tobacco users and their families as these providers gain experience in implementing the interventions and treatments discussed.
