Two new tobacco cessation competency resources and accompanying assessment matrix tools have been released: Health Systems Change for Tobacco Cessation Competencies and Increasing Insurance Coverage for Tobacco Cessation Competencies. These resources are designed to help tobacco control programs assess current capacity, identify areas for growth, and guide efforts to expand access to and utilization of evidence-based tobacco cessation services.
