Overview
Smoking rates are two to four times higher for patients with psychiatric disorders and these patients consume over 40% of the cigarettes in the United States; thus, clinicians who interface with these patients are in a unique position to dramatically reduce smoking rates. This series of short, interactive case-based activities walks learners through common clinical scenarios with several decision-making points around the care of patients presenting with nicotine dependence and comorbid mental health disorders. Quiz questions are followed by answer explanations to drive home key points. Downloadable tools are also provided to further help clinicians in their practice.
