Smoking and vaping may lead to worse clinical outcomes following respiratory infections, which is particularly relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many groups of Americans, such as persons living in poverty, individuals with behavioral health conditions, and persons involved with the criminal justice system, smoke and use other nicotine products at high rates and are at greater risk after contracting COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. In this webinar we will:

Explore the disproportionate impact COVID-19 and infectious disease has among tobacco users from health disparity populations
Review the scientific evidence base regarding tobacco’s role in suppressing the immune system, damaging the lungs, and causing the underlying medical conditions that are associated with worse COVID-19 related outcomes
Discuss potential actions to promote education and abstinence from nicotine, particularly for at-risk populations

Justice in the Air: Findings from the Tobacco Disparities Messaging Project Hosted by The Evaluators' Network (Emory Centers)
2020-02-25 15:00 - 16:00 UTC
Justice in the Air: Findings from the Tobacco Disparities Messaging Project
Presentation Overview:
Words matter, not only in mass media campaigns, but also when presenting data to inform public health action. Uneven tobacco protections are a major driver of disease and early death in marginalized communities across America, but there is a disconnect between this evidence and general public understanding of the issue. The way tobacco related data is presented to the reader can influence the meaning readers’ assign to data and their understanding of how systemic and structural factors drive racial, social, and geographic inequity.
This webinar will give an overview of a multi-method communication research initiative that used an iterative approach to establish reliable framing recommendations with more than 10,000 Americans. Representatives from the Tobacco Disparities Messaging Project will provide an overview of their research methods, describe impactful message frames, and explain how these concepts can be applied when communicating about data and evaluation findings.
Date: Tuesday, February 25, 2020
Time: 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Give at least one example of a formative evaluation method for message testing

3. Apply the Tobacco Disparities Messaging research to communicate about evaluation and epidemiologic findings in ways that increase understanding and engagement

Embracing Public Health 3.0 and Creating Cross-Sector Partnerships
Monday, January 13, 2020 12:00:00 PM EST – 1:30:00 PM EST

The Future of Public Health report, published in 1988, by the Institute of Medicine, highlighted emerging issues and questioned health departments’ infrastructures and capacity to respond. The report revealed a public health system in disarray. Over the years, public health has evolved, and many health concerns have been addressed.
Today Public Health 3.0 is positively informing public health practice. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) Upstate Public Health Region and Tennessee Department of Health have both embraced the Public Health 3.0 practice era. This presentation will discuss lessons learned by each of these states and how minor adjustments can lead to stronger cross-sectoral community partnerships

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe Public Health 3.0
• Identify ways to embrace and implement recommendations to
achieve Public Health 3.0
• Understand the subtle differences between the roles of Chief
Health Strategist and Chief Health Ambassador in Tennessee
Department of Health
• Identify ways to create stronger and more effective cross-
sector partnerships

PTSD & Tobacco Cessation: Trauma-Informed Care to Support Tobacco Cessation in Individuals Diagnosed with PTSD
2019-11-13 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
PTSD & Tobacco Cessation: Trauma-Informed Care to Support Tobacco Cessation in Individuals Diagnosed with PTSD
Date: Wednesday, November 13, 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET
Individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are nearly twice as likely to smoke – research shows 45 percent of Americans diagnosed with PTSD smoke, more than double the rate of the general population. In addition, individuals diagnosed with PTSD who use tobacco are less successful in their attempts to quit, and resume smoking at a higher rate following cessation efforts. Applying the principles of trauma-informed care can improve the rate of tobacco cessation among individuals diagnosed with PTSD and enhance overall behavioral health treatment outcomes.
Join the National Behavioral Health Network on Wednesday, November 13, 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET for PTSD & Tobacco Cessation: Trauma-Informed Care to Support Tobacco Cessation in Individuals Diagnosed with PTSD, a webinar to support practitioners in enhancing their treatment approaches for individuals diagnosed with PTSD. The webinar builds on June 16 and September 16 webinars, Connecting the Dots: Addiction, Trauma and Tobacco Use and Trauma-Informed Motivational Interviewing to Support Tobacco Cessation.
Subject matter experts Taslim van Hattum, LCSW, MPH, Senior Director of Practice Improvement at the National Council for Behavioral Health; and Karen Johnson, MSW, LCSW, Trauma-Informed Services Consultant at the National Council for Behavioral Health and subject matter expert in trauma-informed care and PTSD will guide the discussion.

Kicking Butts: How to help employees quit tobacco with incentives Sponsored by Truth Initiative®
2019-11-05 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
Tobacco use means higher healthcare costs. Add in the costly ripple effect in other areas, such as increased work absences and greater disability claims, and the business case to focus on tobacco is hard to ignore.
About 70% of smokers say they want to quit; more than 60% of e-cigarette users say they want to quit, too. A quit-tobacco program at the workplace can give employees a better chance of kicking the habit.
To motivate more tobacco users to quit or attempt to quit, more than 50% of employers use some form of an incentive—including a tobacco surcharge. Yet, offering the right premium differential for tobacco use takes careful preparation.
Just ask Generac, a leading manufacturer of commercial and industrial generators. Generac has 3,800+ employees in the U.S. working in office and production settings. Like other employers, Generac has concerns about the health of their employees who smoke, use e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco.
Generac has a long-standing tradition of providing tools, resources and financial incentives to employees through their Healthy Living Program. In 2006, Generac began to provide financial rewards to employees who take an active role in maintaining good health.
In 2018, Generac added additional incentives for individuals who would “Commit to be Tobacco Free.” Generac’s strong communication strategy and plan initiatives are progressive, and their results have shown to have an impact on trend.
