The TRUTH Network Guide |
The
TRUTH Network: Treating Tobacco Dependence explains
the 5 A's of tobacco control, available pharmacological
therapies, statewide cessation programs and fax referral
to the Utah Tobacco Quit Line. The Public Health Service
Guideline summary is also included. Two pamphlets to
share with patients accompany the guide, one for orienting
patients to the Quit Line (when they fill out a fax
referral form) and another to motivate patients who
are not ready to quit.
