Describing and measuring tobacco treatment in drug treatment

This is a current project.

Description

People with mental illnesses, including alcohol and other drug problems, smoke 70% of the cigarettes consumed in the United States. Most people in treatment for drug abuse smoke cigarettes and many will die from tobacco-related illnesses. The purpose of this project is to better understand how drug treatment facilities currently address tobacco and to develop a validated measure of tobacco treatment that is sensitive to change. Project findings will support future policy and research to strengthen tobacco treatment services in substance abuse treatment.
