CS2day builds on the “Lessons Learned” from the dissemination of the 2000 Public Health Service Tobacco guidelines. Updated 2008 guidelines will form the foundation for key messages and measured outcomes that ultimately lead to an overall decrease in smoking rates in the United States. Each physician and healthcare professional is encouraged to participate in multiple CS2day educational programs to reinforce learning. The project utilizes Moore’s evaluation scale to assess outcomes from knowledge acquisition to population health.
