Title: Maximizing the Power of Partnerships: Engaging Smokers and the Mental Health Community
1Maximizing the Power of Partnerships Engaging
Smokers and the Mental Health Community
- Steven A. Schroeder, M.D., Director
- Smoking Cessation Leadership Center
- NCTOH, October 2007
2The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center
- Began in 2003 as a Robert Wood Johnson National
Program Office with a 10-million, five-year
grant - Aimed at helping clinicians do a better job
intervening with tobacco users - Additional funding from VA, American Legacy
Foundation - New foray into behavioral health arena, from
Legacy grant
3SCLCs Aim
- We want more people who want to quit smoking to
get the help and support they need to succeed - Access to cessation tools and resources needs to
be widened for all groups - Health care providers have a special role, as the
many partners we have already enlisted will
attest - Examples dental hygienists, nurses, physicians,
respiratory therapists, physician assistants,
pharmacists - National smoking goals unachievable without
involving mental health and substance abuse
communities
4Trends in Adult Smoking, by SexU.S., 19552004

Graph provided by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. 1955 Current Population Survey
19652001 NHIS. Estimates since 1992 include
some-day smoking.
5Smoking Prevalence Among Those with Mental Illness
- Prevalence is 75 percent for those with either
addictions and/or mental illness, as opposed to
20.6 percent for the general population - In mental health settings, about 30-35 percent of
the staff smoke
6People with mental illness consume 44 of
cigarettes smoked in U.S.Breslau, 2003
7The Extraordinary Toll
- People with serious mental illness die 25 years
earlier than the general population - Most attributed to smoking, obesity, substance
abuse, and inadequate access to medical care - R. Manderscheid and C. Colton, April 2006, in
Preventing Chronic Disease
8National Mental Health Partnership for Wellness
and Smoking Cessation
- Began at summit organized by the Smoking
Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) in March 2007
in Virginia - Intended to develop national consensus among key
leaders in mental health and smoking cessation
focused on need to - Increase opportunities for wellness among mental
health consumers and staff - Ensure that smoking cessation treatments and
tools are readily available
9National Mental Health Partnership for Wellness
and Smoking Cessation
- Members include
- 26 organizations and expanding
- National mental health advocacy, governmental,
consumer, and provider organizations and smoking
cessation experts - Mission Statement
- We the undersigned resolve to bring forth and
lead a national partnership campaign to make
health and wellness a priority for people with
mental illnesses and for the providers who serve
them. As a first and immediate focus, we commit
ourselves to addressing the serious consequences
of smoking and to emphasize smoking cessation in
all mental health service delivery settings.
10National Mental Health Partnership for Wellness
and Smoking Cessation
- Reasons for Partnership
- Approximately 50 of people with CMI are smokers
- People with mental illness smoke almost half of
all cigarettes produced and are half as likely to
quit as smokers without mental illness - People with mental illness live 25 years fewer,
on average, than the general population - Nearly half of all deaths from smoking occur
among people with mental illness - For more information, please visit

28Challenges Questions and Answers
- Smoke breaks are one of the few opportunities we,
as consumers, have to relate to staff as peers.
Besides, smoking is our only pleasure. How can
you take that away? - We appreciate that you want to spend time with
staff outside of treatment. And we want to
create healthy ways to do that. Smoking is an
addiction. As a treatment facility, we can no
longer support addiction by condoning smoking by
consumers or staff. Furthermore we will work
together, consumers and staff, to create new
activity choices and opportunities that are both
fun and healthy.
29Questions and Answers (cont.)
- Smoking calms down consumers. When they cant
smoke, wont we experience complete mayhem? - Banning smoking in psychiatric hospitals actually
reduces mayhem. Facilities that do not allow
smoking report fewer incidents of seclusion and
restraint and reduction in coercion and threats
among patients and staff.
30Questions and Answers (cont.)
- Smoking is a personal choice. How can you take
that away without some serious collective
bargaining? - Historically unions have fought for safe working
conditions. Internal documents show that tobacco
companies have strategically marketed worker
messages expounding upon the right to smoke.
Yet, knowing cigarettes are loaded with toxic
chemicals including 60 known carcinogens, Id
rather we expend out energy working together on
safety and health.

61Time to First Cigarette of Day
62Does your mental health program offer any tobacco
treatment?
63How easy was it to talk with a CTA about your
smoking compared to your psychiatrist/ mental
health professional?
641 month Follow-up Results
- 86 response rate
- 30 reported trying to quit at 1 month follow-up
- 80 who had not tried to quit significantly
reduced the number of cpd (11 vs 18 plt0.000)
65Reduced Access to Tobacco Treatment
- Tobacco dependence treatment should be given to
all patients who smoke and are being seen by a
psychiatrist - APA Practice Guidelines for Treatment of Patients
with Nicotine Dependence, 1996 - Nicotine dependence documented in 2 of mental
health records - Only 1.5 of patients seeing a psychiatrists
received treatment for smoking
Peterson 2003 Montoya 2004

76Treating Tobacco in Addiction and Mental Health
Settings
- Treatment can Work
- 5 NRT options, Bupropion, Varenicline
- Brief personalized feedback, education /
counseling, MET, and Behavioral therapy - Fewer Studies of Nicotine Dependence and either
Mental Illness or other Addictions - Abstinence versus Harm Reduction
- Motivation Based Treatment Approach total
abstinence may not be immediately achievable
77Common ways to address tobacco in your mental
health clinic
- Clinically
- Motivation based treatment
- Education at minimum Personalized Feedback
- Medications and Therapy
- Environmental Tobacco Issues
- Forced abstinence inpatient - maintenance on NRT
- Smoking in designated places at designated times
- trigger monitoring and management
- opportunities for behavioral disconnects
- Staff Training EAP help for staff who smoke
- Policy issues chart templates, require
documentation, no staff-patient smoking, get CO
monitor for units, etc
78Motivation Based Treatment Approach
- Engagement Empathy
- Match Goals and Techniques to 5 Stages
- Precontemplation, contemplation, preparation,
action, and maintenance - Services matched to motivational levels
- healthy living groups (Williams, et al)
- contemplation vs action phase specific treatments
- Link with Co-Occurring Disorder treatments
- Nicotine Anonymous
79Helping Less motivated patients Abstinence
versus Harm Reduction
- Abstinence oriented studies patients are able to
reduce the quantity and frequency of use - Many Mental Health staff prefer harm reduction
approaches - Few formal studies of either long-term
short-term harm reduction options - Clinical harm reduction approaches tried
- reducing number of cigarettes
- switching some NRT for some cigarettes
- Long term NRT maintenance usage
- behavioral disconnects (not smoke in house, in
car, etc) - Concern compensatory change in smoking style to
keep same nicotine levels track biomarkers (CO
or cotinine levels)
80Addressing motivation
- Brief Interventions to increase motivation to
seek treatment - Brief Personalized Feedback
- Motivational Interviewing
- Healthy Living Group Based and individual
treatments to provide education and increase
motivation to quit smoking
81Healthy Living Groups
- Learning about Healthy Living group treatment
- Educational and motivational based intervention
- Open ended format, rolling admission, and not
time limited - Overall goal gain knowledge and live a healthier
lifestyle - Sessions
- information about risks associated with smoking
- what is in a cigarette, benefits of quitting,
ways to quit smoking, and general health
lifestyle behaviors to assist in quitting. - Learn about related issues
- nutrition, physical activity, and stress
management - Clinical Educator Model of group facilitation
- utilizing role-plays, concrete examples,
exercises, and questions to assess learning. 20
Sessions in manual. - CO Monitoring
- Principals can also be used in individual
counseling as well
82Smoking Cessation Groups for individuals with
Schizophrenia
- Work with Eden Evins at our Community Health
Link site - Group Support and Bupropion/NRT
- Many can quit however difficult to sustain.
- From clinical experience, long-term outcomes
improve with chronic treatment a model similar
to treating psychiatric disorders - Evins, Cather, Culhane, Birnbaum et al, 2007
83Tobacco Smoking Effects Some Psychiatric
Medication Blood Levels
- Smoking induces the P450s 1A2 isoenzyme
secondary to the polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons - Smoking increases the metabolism of some
medications - Haldol, Prolixin, Olanzapine, Clozapine,
Mellaril, Thorazine, etc - Caffeine is metabolized through 1A2
- CHECK for medication SE or relapse to mental
illness with changes in smoking status - Nicotine does not change medication blood levels
(2D6) - NRT doesnt effect medication blood levels
- Nicotine may modulate cognition, psychiatric
symptoms, and medication side effects
84Tactics of Treatment
- Medications
- Start Bupropion two weeks prior to quit date
- Start NRT Patch on quit date
- PDR versus Clinical Practice
- Use of NRT prior to quit date as a replacement
for cigarettes - Use of Bupropion plus patch (plus gum, etc)
- Dosage of NRT
- Use of multiple NRT strategies (multiple patches,
multiple NRTs) - Length of time on NRT or Bupropion
85Other Tactics
- Primary Psychiatric or other Addiction Medication
choice - Intensity and type of psychosocial treatments
- Tobacco Metabolism and Medications
- Monitor side effects and dosage
- Ongoing monitoring and reassessment
- Critical periods first three days, first two
weeks and first six months - CO, cotinine, and self-report of tobacco usage
86NRT for Schizophrenics
- More research needed placebo controlled
- NRT in variety of routes of administration,
variable doses and duration for schizophrenic
patients - Higher dose transdermal patch (42mg) and trials
of longer duration (24 weeks) Jill Williams et
al, 2004 - In heavy smokers, under dosing may be one of the
reasons for the limited efficacy of transdermal
nicotine - Blood cotinine levels at baseline and steady
state measures for assessing adequacy of nicotine
replacement
87Nicotine Nasal Spray for Schizophrenia
- NNS Rapid onset of action, intermittent dosing,
and more immediate craving relief - Case series 12 schizophrenic smokers
- failed prior treatments
- well tolerated, 75 used at least 30 sprays per
day, 25 continuously abstinence, 40 were three
months abstinent, 25 substantial CO lowering
(21 to 3) - The mean length of time with NNS was 255 days
(range 2-811 days) and several used it for months
prior to achieving abstinence - Williams, Ziedonis, Foulds, 9/04, Psych Services
88Long-term NRT
- The long term health effects of NRT are unknown
- Felt to have less risk than chronic exposure to
carbon monoxide and carcinogens. - Long term use of the patch has not been a
problem. - Gum is almost never misused, thus lacking true
abuse liability - Weaning of the gum usually requires only
education and reassurance even in long term
users.
89What is a Clubhouse?
- Basic Components of a Clubhouse
- Work-Ordered Day, Employment, Evening, Weekend
and Holiday Programs, Community Supports,
Supported Education, Housing Support or Services,
Outreach, Choice, Clubhouse Administration
Operation, and Membership - Provide a variety of services and supports
- Employment, Community Support Services, Outreach,
Education, Housing, Health Promotion Activities,
Advocacy, and Social Supports - Organized internationally by the International
Center for Clubhouse Development (ICCD)
90Genesis Club
- Founded on the realization that recovery from
serious mental illness must involve the whole
person in a vital and culturally sensitive
community - A restorative environment
- A partnership model with membership rights
91The Genesis Wellness Project
- 6 week structured exercise program as part of a
wellness program at Genesis Club, Worcester MA - Members (N17) had significant improvements in
aerobic capacity (p0.0014) and perceived mental
health (p0.046) - Positive trends in perceived improvements in
physical and social functioning. - Qualitative data highlighted the value of group
support and greater attention to nutrition as
part of future programming. - Pelletier, Ngyuen, Bradley, Johnsen, McKay, 2005
92Health Promotion in Clubhouse Programs Needs,
Barriers, and Current Planned Activities
- A survey examining perceptions of the need for
health promotion interventions, current and
planned health promotion practices, and barriers
to change and program development in ICCD
clubhouses. - The mean number of health promotion activities
ICCD clubhouses (N 219) report providing was
5.24. - Despite barriers (e.g., cost), results indicate
that every clubhouse responding to this survey
offers at least one health promotion activity. - Clubhouse directors rated nutritional education
and smoking cessation as items with the greatest
need for health promotion interventions for
clubhouse members. - McKay Pelletier, 2007
