Dear Colleagues,
The Smoking Cessation Leadership
Center (SCLC) is pleased to invite you to a free webinar, "Tobacco-Free State Psychiatric
Hospitals: From Policy to Practice,” on October 23, 2012 at 1pm Eastern Time
(90 minutes).
We are honored to have experts from the National Association of State Mental
Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) and the NASMHPD
Research Institute (NRI) on the webinar panel:
• Robert
Glover, PhD, Executive Director, National Association of State
Mental Health Program Directors
• Lucille
Schacht, PhD, Director of Statistical Analysis, NRI, Inc.
• Joseph
Parks, MD, Chief Clinical Officer, Missouri Department of
Mental Health, Distinguished Professor of Science, University of Missouri
Webinar objectives:
• Learn the methods and results of a survey on smoking
policies and practices in state psychiatric hospitals
• Understand key findings and their applications to tobacco
dependence interventions in psychiatric settings
• Learn how the study may inform development of more
effective smoking cessation policies and practices for people living with
mental illnesses
Beginning in 2006, NRI has been surveying state psychiatric facilities on their
smoking policies and practices. The main goal of the 2011 survey was to
identify progress by state psychiatric facilities toward providing smoke-free
environments. Since 2007 the NRI survey has been supported by the Smoking
Cessation Leadership Center.
