Welcome to Rx for Change!

Rx for Change: Clinician-Assisted Tobacco Cessation is a comprehensive tobacco cessation training program that equips health professional students and practicing clinicians, of all disciplines, with evidence-based knowledge and skills for assisting patients with quitting. Our program draws heavily from the U.S. Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence, in that it advocates delivery of tailored behavioral counseling interventions in conjunction with pharmacotherapy. We address all forms of tobacco, not just cigarettes, and our materials focus on counseling all patients—regardless of their readiness to quit. All materials have undergone extensive external review by key experts in the field.

Learn more about the Rx for Change program. We have the following versions available:

1. 5 A's (comprehensive counseling)
2. Ask-Advise-Refer (brief counseling)
3. Psychiatry
4. Cardiology
5. Mental Health Peer Counselors
6. Respiratory Care
7. Surgical Care

UCSF openly shares the Rx for Change materials with others at no cost; however, all persons who receive any component of the Rx for Change program must complete an online acgp加速器, which includes acceptance of our End-User Licensing Agreement. Rx for Change can be used only for non-commercial teaching and research purposes and cannot be used for profit.
