SUMMARY:Teen Smoking\, Vaping & Dipping: How Should Providers Respond?
DESCRIPTION:Teen Smoking\, Vaping & Dipping: How Should Providers Respond? \nAlthough teen cigarette smoking has dropped to historic lows\, rates of electronic cigarette use is more than double that of regular cigarettes. The U.S. surgeon general has declared adolescent nicotine use a pediatric epidemic. This webinar will provide participants with an overview of current research on rates of nicotine and tobacco use with respect to age and race/ethnicity and the effects of nicotine on the adolescent brain. All cigarette smoking including\, electronic cigarette use\, or smokeless tobacco use have associated health risks. Participants will obtain an understanding of how nicotine use often accompanies other drug use and therefore\, needs to be addressed as part of all substance use disorder treatments. Participants will be provided ideas for implementing effective evidence-based strategies for use with teens. \nPresenter: Rosemarie Martin\, PhD\, Assistant Research Professor of Behavioral and Social Science\, Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies\, Brown University\, School of Public Health \nDate:  Wednesday\, May 25\, 2016 \nTime: 12:00pm – 1:00pm Eastern (11am Central / 10am Mountain / 9am Pacific) \nRegister: https://umkcsonhs.adobeconnect.com/e7x1f65r7mf/event/registration.html

SUMMARY:APA Webinar: Treating Patients with Mental Health Conditions Who Use Tobacco
DESCRIPTION:  \nSponsored by the Morehouse School of Medicine National Center for Primary Care in partnership with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Psychological Association. \nDescription: \nIndividuals with any mental health problem\, e.g.\, depression\, anxiety\, schizophrenia\, are more likely to smoke than those without a mental illness (59.1%) (SAMHSA\, 2014). Consequently\, they experience more smoking related morbidity and mortality than the general population (Ziedonis & Williams\, 2003; Brown\, Barraclough\, & Inskip\, 2000).  Their health can be improved if providers actively attend to their tobacco use with appropriate\, proven interventions. This webinar will describe reasons tobacco use is not addressed by healthcare providers working with patients with a mental illness\, effective smoking cessation practices\, and available clinical resources. \nThe featured speakers for this webinar are: \n\nDavid Satcher\, MD\, PHD\, Founding Director and Senior Advisor\, The Satcher Health Leadership Institute\, Morehouse School of Medicine\, and 16th Surgeon General of the United States\nTimothy P. Carmody\, PhD\, Director\, Health Psychology\, Mental Health Service\, SFVAMC\n\nAfter participating in this webinar you will have the ability to:  \n1) Identify tobacco related health problems in individuals with a mental health problem; \n2) Describe barriers experienced by healthcare professionals that affect their attending to smoking and other tobacco use in individuals with a serious mental health problem; and \n3)Identify smoking cessation best practices effective with individuals with a serious mental health problem. \nLearning Outcomes Conditions: \n• Attend live webinar in its entirety. \n• Pass online quiz with 80% or better. \n• Complete webinar evaluation. 1.25 CE credits offered \nFor a live event\, the attendees list allows us to see when people sign off and sign on. In addition\, all persons seeking CE credits must pass the post test.  If people are able to pass the post test\, the credit is considered earned (i.e.\, they have mastered the webinar content).\nREGISTER HERE
