Posted by: Natalia Gromov
National Jewish Health and
the North American Quitline Consortium, in collaboration with the Smoking
Cessation Leadership Center, would like to invite you to join us for Beyond the 5 A’s: Improving Cessation Interventions
through Strengthened Training, November 13-15, 2013.
The overarching goal of Beyond the 5 A’s is to improve the frequency and
effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions provided by health
professionals by improving the quality of training delivered to them on this
critical topic. Beyond the 5 A’s will bring those who are currently designing
and delivering smoking cessation provider education programs together with
public health tobacco cessation experts, systems decision-makers, healthcare
providers and researchers to translate recent advances in both evidence and practice
into action that will improve the frequency and effectiveness of smoking
cessation interventions.
Attendees will examine recent advances in evidence and practice and discuss
their own successful approaches, strategies, techniques and challenges, to
improve the effectiveness and quality of smoking cessation interventions.
