If You’re Not Screening for Tobacco Use Disorder (TUD), You’re Missing the Full Picture
We can’t treat what we don’t assess. Tobacco use is often invisible in mental health settings—not because it’s not present, but because we don’t ask. This module equips you with the tools to identify TUD early, accurately, and compassionately, using strategies that align with where your client is in their journey.
Learning Objectives
- Use validated tools to assess nicotine dependence and diagnose TUD
- Understand how TUD fits into standard diagnostic frameworks
- Match assessment strategies to each client’s stage of change
