About This Course

This presentation thoroughly explores the bio-psycho-social aspects of tobacco use disorder specific to individuals with mental and substance use disorders. Data are reviewed to explain a high smoking prevalence, severity of tobacco use disorder, disproportionate health consequences, and the origin of common misconceptions that sustain smoking as a social norm in the recovery and treatment culture. Evidence-based tobacco interventions and strategy to denormalize tobacco within a recovery-oriented framework are discussed.

Learning Objectives: 

• Define the origin of prevailing tobacco-related social norms in the treatment and recovery culture.
• Cite data to demonstrate that Pennsylvanians with mental and substance use disorders have disproportional tobacco-related health disparities and inadequate access to appropriate tobacco treatment services.
• Identify strategy to denormalize tobacco use in behavioral health settings and support evidence-based tobacco use disorder interventions within a recovery-oriented framework.

Intended Audience: 

All individuals who work in behavioral health services, including and non-clinical staff, recovery peers, interns, volunteers and community health allies.
