About the Program

In this study, we propose to create, disseminate, and implement a TTTF evidence-based tobacco control training curriculum that will facilitate long-term, competent, center-led delivery of staff and clinician education about evidence-based practices (EBPs) for tobacco control in these settings through new employee, annual, and in-service training events, which will ensure that embedded expertise on EBPs for tobacco control is not jeopardized over time through staff turnover.

The overall goal is to increase the reach and effectiveness of TTTF through the development of a curriculum and training program for behavioral health treatment setting program champions that, through its dissemination and implementation, will facilitate and increase the delivery of ongoing center-led education about EBPs for tobacco control into the foreseeable future.
