This tobacco intervention manual for the oral health team is part of an effort to develop, test, and disseminate the most effective techniques to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in America. This document emphasizes the importance of helping patients who use smoking or smokeless tobacco. The interventions recommended in the manual (which are based on National Cancer Institute trials and several other studies' findings) have demonstrated a positive and enduring effect on significant numbers of participants. The manual, divided into three sections, provides a detailed description of a successful intervention, presenting practical steps for establishing an office program, helping patients to stop using tobacco, and following through with patients and others affected by tobacco use. The appendices contain additional information about how to quit using tobacco. Included are sample forms and protocols, lists of available resources, and self-help tips. Tear-out materials are provided at the end of the manual for use in implementing the program.
