The 5 As (contd)
ASK about tobacco use
Do you ever smoke or use any type of
tobacco?
The 5 As (contd)
ADVISE tobacco users to quit (clear, strong, personalized)
Its important that you quit as soon as possible, and I
can help you.
The 5 As (contd)
ASSESS readiness to make a quit attempt
Cutting down while you are ill is not enough. Occasional or light smoking is still harmful. I realize that quitting is difficult. It is the most important
thing you can do to protect your health now and in the future. I have training to help my patients quit, and when you are ready, I can work with you to design a specialized treatment plan.

Promoting Change
Key concepts for helping patients quit:
Stages of Change and Decisional Balance Self-efficacy Ambivalence/resistance READS (motivational interviewing)

STAGE 1: Not thinking about changing STAGE 2: Considering changing, but not yet STAGE 3: Getting ready to change soon STAGE 4: In the process of changing STAGE 5: Changed a while ago

Contemplation
34
Precontemplation
Self-efficacy
A patients confidence in being able to
accomplish a recommended behavior E.g., taking the medicine as prescribed in a variety
of situations/circumstances
Ambivalence / Resistance
Ambivalence:
the coexistence of opposing or confusing
attitudes or feelings
primary factor impeding behavioral change If patients (a) are not sure what to do, (b) are not
sure how to do it, or (c) do not believe in the accuracy of the diagnosis or efficacy of the recommendation, they will be unlikely to change.
Ambivalence / Resistance
Resistance:
When patients are faced with change, they are
often resistant to doing what is needed.
READS
Five Principles of Motivational Interviewing
Roll with resistance instead of confronting or opposing patients resistance to change Express empathy through use of reflective listening Avoid argumentation by assuming that it is patients decision as to whether s/he chooses to change Develop discrepancies between patient goals and the problematic behavior through use of reflective listening and provision of objective feedback Support self-efficacy as well as optimism for change
39
Resistance can occur because patients are 38 ambivalent or for other reasons.
Low-intensity (3 to 10 minutes):
Individual counseling and MTM activities Algorithm Checklist Handouts Higher intensity (>10 min): Individual counseling and group programs

Key Points
Tobacco use is the leading known preventable cause of
disease and death in the United States.
ability to quit and should assess and address tobacco use tobacco use status at each encounter. There are effective methods for quitting, and these should be used by all patients attempting to quit. Interventions for cessation should include behavioral counseling in combination with one or more FDAapproved medications. Tobacco quitlines are an effective and accessible resource for all patients who are ready to quit. Routine implementation of tobacco cessation interventions is feasible for all pharmacy practice settings. 79
