LGATPC provides a tool kit and assistance to companies who want to develop and implement programs and policies for supporting their tobacco users to quit and adopt a 100% Tobacco Free Campus policy at their worksite.

Cessation

LGATPC is currently training hundreds of local Healthcare Providers on how to complete a brief intervention known as the 3A's and an R (Ask, Advise, Assess and Refer). The 3A's and an R intervention is used to identify tobacco users who want to quit. The next step would be to refer them to the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line or other local cessation programs. These healthcare providers reach out to thousands of tobacco users being treated within Lake Hospital System, UH Medical Centers, and Ashtabula County Medical Center with these brief interventions and referrals.

Promotion of the Ohio Quit Line

For Healthcare Professionals and Social Service providers, other than
those affiliated with Lake Hospital System, LGATPC has an Ohio Quits
Coordinator who'll educate those professionals on how to do a brief
intervention called the 3A's and an R( Ask, Advise, Assess and Refer).
Once tobacco users who want to quit in the next 30 days are identified,
they are referred to the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line and local cessation
programs. Tool kits, handouts and cessation aids are available.

Lake Hospital Systems Inpatient Intervention Program
