Dear partners in health,
A recording of last month's webinar on helping pregnant women quit smoking is now available by clicking HERE and selecting the "Training" tab. Please share this with your colleagues through your networks or by clicking the "Forward Email" link below.
The Webinar, "Tools to Help Pregnant Women Quit Smoking: Motivational, Pharmacological, and Behavioral Strategies," was originally presented Oct. 19 by Dr. Heather LaChance for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
This webinar provides essentials of smoking cessation for prenatal and postpartum women. This seminar discusses how smoking impacts mothers' and infants' health, and details the dangers of secondhand smoke. It reviews the treatment options for smoking cessation, including pharmacotherapy, best practices and brief motivational counseling options. You will learn specific counseling strategies to motivate smokers and the tools to work with smokers who are ready to quit. Finally, you will learn about the prenatal tobacco cessation campaign and see materials designed to inspire smokers to engage in smoking cessation.
We hope those of you who could not attend the original Webinar find the archived recording and resources useful.
