Tobacco and nicotine use is a concern for many, and yet there are barriers around awareness and use of cessation resources among people who use tobacco. Join this webinar to learn about the partnership among the Washington Department of Health, Health Care Authority, and the University of Washington's Health Promotion Research Center, and how these organizations are working to identify and address barriers to accessing cessation resources among employees of Washington State agencies. The surprising findings align with those from employees who use tobacco across the state and country.

This presentation is for health and behavioral health providers, public health professionals, employee wellness staff, and all others interested in improving nicotine cessation treatment.
