In Search of:Evidence-based Community Cessation Resources
Linda Eakers, Oklahoma State Department of Health
Dilemma
Oklahoma has limited resources available at the community level for tobacco use cessation
Difficult to evaluate the number of existing programs at the community level
Objective
To only use community-based cessation resources utilizing best practice guidelines for inclusion in database
Core Requirements Provide evidence-based interventions for
tobacco use cessation Provide cognitive motivation as well as
practical counseling Intervention should be interactive Intervention should be culturally and
linguistically appropriate Consist of multiple interventions with multi-
disciplinary involvement as applicable
Process
Potential resource is identified at community level and is referred to Helpline vendor
Helpline vendor surveys community resource
Resource is evaluated for appropriateness as an evidence-based tobacco cessation service
Understanding Challenges
Where are they now? Difficult to track availability of
programs Cost prohibitive?
Are services affordable?
Collaboration
Partners are encouraged to identify and report evidence-based cessation resources available within their communities TSET grantees State and local agencies Hospitals Vocational programs
