    1. Tobacco Prevention and Control Evidence-based Recommendations from the Guide to Community Preventive Services Tobacco use is the single largest cause of preventable premature mortality in the United States. It also represents an enormous cost burden to the nation. The question is, what works to make tobacco use prevention and control at the population or community level? The Guide to Community Preventive Services addresses the effectiveness of community-based interventions for three strategies to promote tobacco use prevention and control: 1) prevent tobacco product use initiation, 2) increase cessation and 3) reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). The findings strengthen and complement existing guidelines (hyperlink table and text to existing guidelines) on tobacco prevention and control.

    2. Introduction Guide to Community Preventive Services Tobacco chapter Recommendations from the Task Force Smoking bans Provider reminder systems Interventions to reduce minors’ access Preview: School-based interventions The next few slides will provide information about the Guide to Community Preventive Services project. Following this will be an overview of the Community Guide chapter on tobacco prevention and control followed by detail about the first 15 strategies for which the Task Force has issued recommendations for use. Then, we’ll take a look in a little more depth at the bodies of evidence evaluating the effectiveness of smoking bans and restrictions, reminder systems used to prompt health care providers to address smoking in their patient interactions. We’ll look at our most recent review, the evidence regarding the constellation of interventions implemented with the intent of reducing or restricting access to tobacco products by minors. Finally will be a preview of the reviews that we are currently working on regarding school-based interventions.The next few slides will provide information about the Guide to Community Preventive Services project.

    3. The Community Guide A Task Force A Process Systematic reviews of the literature Assessments of study quality Summary of outcomes A Product Evidence-based recommendations Book The Guide to Community Preventive Services, or Community Guide for short, is the work of a Task Force of 15 national experts in public health and health care delivery. Tommy Thompson of Group Health is one member of this task force that you might know. The Task Force was formed in 1996 to direct series of reviews of the literature which the Task Force would review and issue recommendations regarding use. The idea is that Task Force recommendations would be useful to communities and to health care systems in choosing and implementing effective interventions for a variety of health issues..not just tobacco, but also topics such as motor vehicle occupant injuries, diabetes management, physical activity, and a lot more. The Community Guide is also a process, a set of methods for conducting systematic reviews of the literature including assessments of study quality and summaries of outcomes in a format that would save time for decision-makers in reviewing the literature. The end result of our work is an ever expanding set of evidence reviews and evidence r-based recommendations As of August 2002, 77 findings across 7 topic areas have been published. Presently, these reviews and recommendations are published by topic, but we’re in the process of putting them in a bookThe Guide to Community Preventive Services, or Community Guide for short, is the work of a Task Force of 15 national experts in public health and health care delivery.
