Facilitating multiorganizational smoking cessation knowledge translation through on-line toolkit for educators and clinicians.

摘要

Effective approaches are needed to facilitate knowledge translation into clinical practice. In 2008, 9 US-based organizations, including 3 universities, launched the Cease Smoking Today (CS2day) initiative to enhance the implementation of a recently updated tobacco cessation guideline and improve clinical practice of helping adults quit smoking. These goals were to be achieved through more than 140 continuing-education activities for physicians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals over a period of 2 years. As part of this initiative we developed an on-line Toolkit-a compilation of educational and practice-oriented resources for educators and clinicians.
