In partnership with American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) is excited to announce a new resource to support clinicians in adopting the “Ask – Counsel – Treat” (A.C.T.) cessation counseling model into clinical practice. The newly developed case studies combine didactic teaching with practical conversation examples. Each unique case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the A.C.T. model across various pediatric ages and nicotine dependencies. They also demonstrate utilizing Nicotine Replacement Therapy for patients under 18 years of age. Pediatricians and health clinicians can browse through individual case studies at their own pace at AAP Youth Tobacco Cessation Case Studies.
