CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health developed a new webpage, “Promising Policies and Practices To Address Tobacco Use by Persons with Mental And Substance Use Disorders.” Designed to complement the May 2018 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on tobacco-related policies and practices in behavioral health treatment facilities (Marynak K, VanFrank B, Tetlow S, et al. Tobacco Cessation Interventions and Smoke-Free Policies in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities—United States, 2016. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 67(18):519—523, 2018), this webpage highlights strategies that some states have used to address tobacco use in behavioral health treatment settings. In addition, the webpage also describes other evidence-based strategies to address tobacco use among people with behavioral health conditions.
The webpage and a printable .pdf version of its content are available at https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/disparities/promising-policies-and-practices/index.html.
