Strategic Policy Considerations • Policies and procedures for maintaining tobacco-free environments • Guidelines for addressing and integrating nicotine into addiction and mental health services • Personnel policies for the provision of treatment for staff who are dependent on nicotine
The Stakes 200,000 more annual tobacco deaths in these populations unless something is done, more than 7,000 of them in Wisconsin
Progress • WINTIP funded for 5 years • Training and education resources developed/available • More than 1,000 clinicians educated and trained • WINTIP support resolution adopted as county, state and national policy • 10 years of evidence tobacco integration can be achieved and sustained • Model policies & procedures guidelines completed
Prevention Relevance • SUD's are usually pediatric disorders; they begin during adolescence • Many psychiatric disorders also begin in childhood and adolescence • They are vulnerable and deserve early and ongoing prevention interventions
