QuitAdvisorMD: A point-of-care tool for brief smoking cessation interventions Under a Phase
II SBIR grant supported by NIH/NIDA, we are developing QUITAdvisorMD: a point-of-care,
patient-centered resource for counseling patients who smoke or use tobacco products. It is
based on the principles of Motivational Interviewing, a non-confrontational and very
effective method for intervening and treating these patients; the 5 A's of behavioral
interventions; and the Transtheoretical Model of Change. Through a point and click
interface, the tool uses a series of interview questions designed to motivate patients to
stop smoking by first assessing their stage of change and then offering effective
stage-based interventions and interview techniques. The tool also offers stage-tailored
patient information, a clinician educational reference, and the ability to communicate
support information patients via email and/or text message.
Inclusion Criteria:
- any physician providing care for members of Southern Health through primary care and
have access to a point-of-care computing device (Smartphone, desktop PC, etc) during
patient visits.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Lack of appropriate computing device
