Activity Details

Target Audience

This activity is designed for a broad audience that includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and any other clinician whose scope of practice includes helping patients quit smoking or make other health behavior changes.

Overview

Cease Smoking Today (CS2day) is a collaborative partnership designed to reduce the number of persons who smoke and decrease morbidity and mortality from smoking-related illness through numerous integrated educational interventions. This brief activity will introduce the concept of motivational interviewing (MI) and its value in helping patients who smoke to consider a quit attempt, as well as its application to other areas of health behavior change. Key components of MI will be explained, and video demonstrations of successful MI will be shown. Participants will be encouraged to consider how to integrate MI into their practice setting, and additional resources will be shared for those wanting to learn more.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to

  1. Identify barriers and facilitators to health behavior change.
  2. Describe the spirit and skills of MI as they apply to smoking cessation and other health behavior changes.
  3. Differentiate between what MI is and what it is not.
