CEASE:Adaptation for Rural Community Practice
posted: Friday, June 04, 2010
INAAP has a new CATCH grantee. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Sarah Bosslet for her funded project:
CEASE:Adaptation for Rural Community Practice
Secondhand smoke exposure has been well documented as a leading health concern for children. Despite this information, nearly 60% of children in Indiana continue to be exposed. The state of Indiana has one of the highest smoking rates in the country. The CEASE program is a validated tool that focuses on decreasing children’s exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke by having caregivers complete a questionnaire addressing tobacco smoke exposure. At every office visit, they are asked about tobacco use in the home and car as well as the readiness of the smoker to quit. It opens the door for discussion between caregiver and physician, creating opportunity to educate the family on methods to reduce exposure. Our proposal would adapt this program for use in our rural community practice by incorporating the questionnaire into our electronic medical records system and augmenting the program with cessation strategies and referrals when appropriate. Successful incorporation of this program into our office practice would serve both a community public health need, and would allow us to be a model for other local and regional pediatric and family medicine offices interested in addressing this important health

Reminder Special Funds for Second Hand Smoke in Implementation Cycle
posted: Wednesday, January 13, 2010
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Julius B. Richmond Center of Excellence for Children is pleased to partner with the AAP Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Program to offer a grant opportunity for pediatricians interested in developing projects focused on reducing secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure for children and youth.
We wanted to you be aware that these grants are part of the general call for proposals and therefore must follow the same application and reporting procedures and meet the same eligibility and selection criteria as those under the CATCH Implementation Funds program. We are still offering CATCH Implementation grants in all relevant topics, but have special funds for reducing secondhand tobacco smoke exposure. For the Call for Proposals, please visit http://www.aap.org/catch/implementgrants.htm
Further technical assistance is available through the CATCH Program and the Richmond Center.
