  • Title: Evidence-based practice: A theory-based tobacco dependence treatment at an adolescent health clinic.
    Author: Pearlstein I.
    Journal: N J Nurse; 2005; 35(1):15. PubMed ID: 15790012.
    Abstract:
    Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. Most smokers report initiating smoking in adolescence when smoking is not perceived as a health risk. Assessment and education about the harm of tobacco use is critical to stemming the destructive behavior of smoking and avoiding lifelong addiction. This article describes a theory-based, nurse-run, adolescent-focused smoking assessment, education and intervention program. Results of the first 6 months of the program are described.
