NEWS
Ohio providers develop action plans for new tobacco intervention, stage-based approach to tobacco services for people with mental illness and substance use disorders
Representatives from nine community-based organizations and a state psychiatric hospital in Ohio attended a one-day training for “Tobacco: Recovery Across the Continuum (TRAC)”, a stage-based motivational service model that helps people diagnosed with mental illness and/or substance use disorders reduce and eventually eliminate the use of tobacco products. The event provided practical information and useful strategies for implementing TRAC services and featured Carlo DiClemente and other presenters.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Conference 2010 to celebrate ten years of EBPs in Ohio, combine annual SAMI-IDDT & SE events, as well as tobacco recovery
 Save these dates! The Center for Evidence-Based Practices (CEBP) at Case Western Reserve University will host its next conference October 12, 13, and 14, 2010. The event, titled "Sustaining Evidence-Based Practices: The Next Ten Years," will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the State of Ohio's success with implementing EBPs for people diagnosed with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders.
Conference planners anticipate the event will attract over 600 people from all over the United States, because Conference 2010 will combine two annual CEBP events: the annual Ohio SAMI Coordinating Center of Excellence (CCOE)/Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment Conference and the annual Ohio Supported Employment CCOE Conference. Participants at these events have come from approximately 17 states and overseas.

Research shows a strong link among tobacco addiction/dependence, people with severe mental illness, and negative-life outcomes. A sample of some statistics are included below:
|
Tobacco Addiction/Dependence
- More than 70 percent of people with a mental illness and/or a substance use disorder use tobacco (compared with 21 percent of the general population).
- Over 44 percent of cigarettes smoked in the United States are consumed by people with psychiatric disorders.
|
|
Negative Health Outcomes
- Smoking claims up to 400,000 lives annually.
- Other substance abuse claims over 100,000 lives annually.
- People with severe mental illness die, on average, 20 to 25 years earlier (from potentially tobacco-related illnesses).
