Smoke-free Home Intervention in Permanent Supportive Housing

One hour, one-on-one counseling for residents

A two-hour training for PSH staff on how to provide referrals to smoking cessation programs using materials previously developed from UCSF's 'Rx for change' curriculum for service providers, directed toward empowering PSH staff to provide referrals to local cessation services using the ask, advise, and refer approach. The training will address nicotine addiction, tobacco use among PSH residents, pilot data, brief cessation counseling (ask, advise, and refer), and local resources for cessation. Because PSH resident-PSH staff encounters will take place as part of routine care, the study team will request permission from a random sample of staff and resident dyads (n=40) to record these interactions to assess fidelity.
