Tobacco use policy survey for behavioral health facilities

Rede Group, a contractor for the Washington Department of Health (DOH), is surveying behavioral health programs and facilities in Washington to understand the landscape of the policies and practices related to nicotine dependence treatment, recovery, and tobacco use policies in the behavioral health system.

We would greatly appreciate your participation in this effort. There are two ways to participate, you can do one or both:

• Complete the online survey about the comprehensiveness of tobacco policies at your program/facility. This should take roughly 15 minutes to complete. Afterward, you will receive a single email regarding your facility’s level of comprehensiveness and an offer for free technical assistance if you want to increase this level.
  • One assessment per facility. If you have more than one location, please pass this along to your colleagues at your other sites to complete the survey.
  • You will receive (if you want) a $25 Visa gift card for your time.
• Meet with Rede Group for an hour to chat one-on-one about your knowledge, experience, and perspectives on tobacco-free behavioral health in Washington.
  • You will be compensated for your time with a $100 Visa gift card.

If you can interview with Rede via Zoom for an hour, please email Audra Baca at audra.baca@redegroup.co (yes, that is .co) and she can get that scheduled with you. Otherwise, please complete the survey. Lastly, Rede is available to present at your staff or coalition meetings on the topic of tobacco use in the behavioral health community, highlighting its significance as a key health equity issue. If you're interested in learning more and engaging your group in this important conversation, please reach out to Audra Baca.
