Free Brief Tobacco Intervention

Alere Wellbeing has developed a FREE, abbreviated online training for healthcare providers to quickly learn the brief tobacco intervention (or refresh their training): http://tcrc.rapidlearner.com/3462217858

This training can be viewed online, on mobile devices, and on the iPad! It covers:

• Overview of the CDC TIPS Campaign
• Basic instruction and demonstration of the Brief Tobacco Intervention (Ask, Advise, Refer)
• Instructions on referral to the quitline

At the end of the training, healthcare professionals will be aware of national efforts promoting quit attempts and be ready to effectively talk with patients about quitting.

Given the timing of the CDC TIPS Campaign, it is important that this training be viewed by providers as soon as possible.
