6 Secondhand Smoke A Significant Problem for Low Income Housing 2006 Surgeon General s report on secondhand smoke applies to all indoor environments i.e. there is no safe level of exposure SHS-exposed children twice as likely to miss 6 or more school days per year Even low levels of SHS exposure associated with decreased reading and math scores Smoking materials are one of the largest causes of injuries, deaths and direct property damage from fires Secondhand smoke can travel through an entire complex including ventilation systems, electrical outlets, cracks in foundation walls, pipes, plumbing and doorways.

10 HUD Smokefree Multi-Unit Housing Rule Why Include E-Cigarettes in Smokefree Policies? 1. Makes enforcement easier and less subject to confusion and discretion 2.

14 Major Points to Remember about the HUD Rule Smokefree policies are about smoking, not smokers. Residents may be afraid they ll be forced to quit or move out Property managers may be afraid they ll have to evict residents who smoke Many tobacco users may decide to make a quit attempt when a property goes smokefree. Smoking cessation services and medications if possible should be available to residents. Smokers on Medicaid, Medicare and other types of insurance often have access to no or low-cost medications State phone counseling services for smokers (1-800-QUIT-NOW) sometimes provide no cost medications to uninsured persons Not every tobacco user will decide to make a quit attempt when a property goes smokefree. Some may be angry about the new policy and some just aren t ready to make a quit attempt Everyone needs to comply with the smokefree policy, even if they don t stop using tobacco Reasonable accommodations for some residents such as moving people nearer entrances or elevators can be considered FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY DO NOT DISTRIBUTE. Confidential and proprietary property of the American Lung Association, all rights reserved. 14
15 Major Points to Remember about the HUD Rule Start Early Providing ample time between announcement and implementation of the new policy gives residents time to understand the policy and adjust to it It s impossible to communicate too much about the new policy. Announce the forthcoming policy change as early as and in as many ways as possible Hold resident meetings to discuss the new policy Get residents involved in planning the launch of the policy, where signage is located, how the policy is enforced, etc Starting a smokefree multi-unit housing policy doesn t have to be expensive or lonely. Many willing partners are available in the public health community, including state and local health departments, tobacco control coalitions, voluntary health organizations and more Community partners may be able to help provide signage, cessation resources and even people to speak at resident meetings and staff events FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.

16 Community Health Centers Will Be on the Front Lines Community Health Centers Provide Extensive Primary Care Services to Public Housing Residents Close to 300 health centers operate clinical delivery sites in or immediately accessible to public housing, according to the National Association of Community Health Centers Health Centers can be important partners in implementation of HUD s smokefree housing rule Because many health centers directly serve public housing residents, they can assist with providing smoking cessation services and access to medications in particular The Lung Association has worked closely with the National Center for Health in Public Housing, which provides TA to a subset of the 300 health centers above & ALA also hopes to work with individual health centers on state-level implementation/cessation projects Health Centers should be prepared for higher demand for smoking cessation assistance when HUD s final rule takes effect While smoking cessation assistance should be offered prior to implementation, when the policy changes is when demand is most likely to surge FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.

29 Smoking Cessation How your entire team can effectively serve residents of public housing Elizabeth Byrne, MA, LPC, Clinical Implementation Manager 3/19/2018 Treatment Treatment Research Research Institute, Institute,
30 Who provides the help? Patient Centered Medical Homes are the ideal partners to support smoke-free living in public housing. Cessation Support can (and should) come from everyone on the clinic team: Primary Care & Behavioral Health Clinicians Nurses & Social Workers Medical Assistants & Front Desk staff The unified message should be: When you re ready, we can help. Cutting back is an EXCELLENT start. 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
31 Support Patient Smoking Cessation Using The 5 Senses 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
32 What are patients seeing? Display CDC TIPS and Quitline posters in the waiting room and treatment rooms Include questions about smoking behaviors on any check-in paperwork 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
33 What are practitioners saying? How are the questions about smoking being asked? What types of side conversations can patients overhear? Ensure ALL medical staff are using encouraging words and are able to offer specific suggestions on how patients can cut down or quit. 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
34 Are you enforcing the no-smoking ordinances in your city around entrances? Do your patients have to walk through smoke to enter your building? Can patients smell smoke on your employees? 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
35 Are there hands-on activities for patients to get involved in? Do you have a peer-support model in place where patients can strive to become leaders in their community? 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
36 Are you offering additional support and programming for weight management? Do you have a registered dietician on staff to work with patients who are trying to quit? Provide handouts to encourage healthy eating choices. 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
37 Collaboration Collaboration is excellent for community building. Look for opportunities to expand partnerships. Work with gate keepers to help you navigate incredibly large systems. Think outside the box! Keep moving when you ve been blocked. Be clear and transparent about your agenda. Don t give up! 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
38 Health Centers & PHA Working Together Strengths: Direct access to all residents Possibility for location of programming in house, no travel needed Challenges: Multiple layers of bureaucracy Lack of privacy for patients Competing agendas 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
39 How Do We Do This Sustainably? Work it into the primary care visit (3-5min) Utilize your Behavioral Health Consultant (10-20min) Train interns to run small cessation groups (45-90 min) Possible groups: Public Health, Nursing, Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, Adult Education There are plenty of open access curriculums available to use for free The CDC TIPS campaign has multiple free resources Reach out to your local health department for potential community partnerships 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
40 Do What You Can! Every bit of psychoeducation and reinforcement you can provide patients is helpful and makes a difference. This includes harm reduction, stages of change, NRT options, patient literature Start with something simple and make it happen this month don t wait for the perfect solution. Posters Ask staff if anyone is interested in getting involved Distribute questionnaire for patient interest in a class CDC Tips From Former Smokers Campaign 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
41 CDC Tips From Former Smokers Free materials to download like: low-res TV, print, radio, online, and out of home ads Continuous loop videos PSAs in Spanish and English about quitting smoking and secondhand smoke Print ads with stories from real people your patients can relate to 3/19/2018 Treatment Research Institute, 2012
