  3. The Problem

  4. Individual and Social Costs Smoking tobacco is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States (U.S.). In U.S., between 2000-2004, tobacco use contributed to: 443,000 premature deaths (9,637 in TX) Over 5.1 million years of potential life lost $193 Billion cost to society (>$12 Billion in TX) (Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Facts and Figures[ACS], 2011) (Texas Cancer Facts & Figures [ACS] 2008)

  5. Three Jumbo Jets Crashing every day.

  6. Individual and Social Costscontinued • Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) now one of theleading causes of preventable death in U.S. • 3400 lung cancer deaths • 46,000 death from heart disease (nonsmokers) • 150,000-300,000 respiratory infections in U.S. infants and children, 18 months of age. • 430 infant deaths related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) (U.S. Surgeon General Report, 2006) (ACS 2010)

  7. Smoking Prevalence Cigarette consumption rates National 20.6% adults aged 18 and older* (19.5% HSS Texas 17.9% ^ Prevalence highest among Non-Hispanic white and other Asian/API and Native Americans Least educated Cigar consumption rates National 5.4% of adults aged 18 and older Prevalence highest among African Americans (8%) and American Indian/Alaska Natives (6%) (*Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Facts & Figures, ACS 2011) (^TDSHS, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2009)

  8. Tobacco Use and Texas High School Students • Cigarette use in last 30 days: • 21 % report use at least 1 day • 6% report use on 20 or more days • 5% report smoked on school property • 53% report did not try to quit • Other tobacco use in last 30 days: • 7% used chew tobacco, snuff or dip at least 1 day • 4% used chew tobacco, snuff or dip on school property at 1 day • 16% smoked cigars, cigarillos or little cigars at least 1 day • Any tobacco use in last 30 days: • 27% reported use of any tobacco at least 1 day

  10. Physical Impact of Smoking Smoking “damages nearly every cell in your body.” (Surgeon General Richard Carmona, USPHS, 2004) It can cause: Cancers Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Heart Disease Cardiovascular Disease Gastrointestinal ulcers/periodontal disease Reproductive effects Eye disorders (U.S. Surgeon General Report, 2004)

  11. Physical Impact of Smokeless Tobacco Use Causes: • Cancers • Leukoplakia • Mouth and teeth disorders • Reproductive disorders • Nicotine addiction and dependence (CDC 2009)

  12. Role of the School Health Nurse

  13. School Nurses Can Make a Difference Nurses are an invaluable resource. Nurses are a trusted professional. Patients are more likely to quit successfully with the nurses’ support. (Good, Frazier, Wetta-Hall, Ablah, & Molgaard, 2004) We are failing our patients if we don’t offer smoking cessation help. (Roberts, 2002)

  14. Common Barriers to Intervening Lack of interest or motivation on behalf of patient Invasion of patient privacy Lack of time of the nurse Lack of knowledge and resources of nurse (Good, et al, 2004)

  15. Best Practice Guidelines

  16. Comprehensive Tobacco Prevention Program • Tobacco Free School Environment • Evidence based curriculum • Link to community-wide programs.

  17. Provider Reminder System What is it? Why is it considered important? How effective is it? (USPHS, 2008)

  18. USPHS Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence Updated May 2008

  19. 3 Factors Affecting Tobacco Addiction Nicotine addiction Habitual behavior Emotional dependence

  20. Nicotine Addiction Temporary Condition

  21. Habitual Behavior • Health Belief Model • Potential susceptibility • Potential seriousness • Perceived costs • Cue to action (Green,2002)

  22. Emotional Dependence For Adults Best Friend Social environment is prime. For Adolescents Cool Adult-like

  23. 5A’s for Those Ready to Quit Ask Advise Assess Assist Arrange (USPHS, 2008)

  24. 5 R’s for those unwilling to quit Relevance Risks Rewards Roadblocks Repetition (USPHS, 2008)

  25. 5 A’s &R’s CARD Tools to identify and assess tobacco use effectively 5 A’s Quick Guide: Treat tobacco users willing to quit 5 R’s Quick Guide: Treat tobacco users unwilling to quit

  26. Behavioral Interventions and Five month Quit Rates - Adults (Hopkins, D 2008)

  27. Pharmacotherapy • Nicotine replacement • Various methods of administration • No prescription is required • All increase success rates for quit attempts • Tablets • Bupropion and Varenicline • Prescription required • Increase success rates for quit attempts (Dougherty, P.,2008) Recommended for adolescent tobacco users only with clinician order and tight follow-up.

  28. Preventing Relapse On every visit that follows: Provide congratulation Offer support with community resources Encourage student to verbalize benefits Encourage student to make appointment if relapse or temptation occurs (Fiore,2008)
