Self- Evaluation Tool to Support Implementation of Treatment for Tobacco Use Disorder in Behavioral Health Programs

This report describes the construction and application of the Tobacco Integration Self-Evaluation Tool (TiSET) for behavioral health programs, a 20-item scale inspired by the DDCMHT and additional content from the Facility Tobacco Policy and Treatment Practices Self-Evaluation tool that one of the study authors (JW) used previously with addiction treatment programs. Completing the TiSET is an important step for behavioral health programs to evaluate their ability to effectively treat people that use tobacco. An important next step is to use those results to facilitate a quality improvement process. We include large agency example illustrating how the TiSET can be applied in real-world practice.PMID:34518927 | PMC:PMC8437659 | DOI:10.1007/s10597-021-00890-x
