Story Behind the Curve
Smoking Cessation is an 8 week program offered by JCPHD once a quarter. Promotion of the program includes social media, print flyers, monthly newsletters, JCPHD website and digital street signs. Referrals come from our health department clinicians, as well as Johnston Health and Johnston County Behavioral Health. However, the program has consistently seen low or no participation.
Partners
Trained Freedom from Smoking Facilitator, a JCPHD staff member who is also a health educator. We receive referrals from behavioral health and johnston health, as well as our health department clinics.
What Works
The Freedom from Smoking class is evidence based so we know it works. However, for someone to be better off as a result of attending this course, they must complete all 8 sessions and successfully quit smoking. Feedback from previous participants shows that many people referred to this course do not actually wish to quit smoking.
