Through education and promotion, CTI provides health care professionals with tools to identify tobacco users and assist patients in their quit attempts. The priniciples of CTI are to: ASK - patients about smoking status; ADVISE - patients about the health risks of tobacco use and to quit; ASSESS - patients’ readiness to quit; ASSIST - patients that are ready to quit; ARRANGE - follow up. These principles are applied through comprehensive intervention or minimal contact intervention. |
