Joan M. Davis, RDH, MS, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Healthcare Professions, Dental Hygiene Program, has developed and posted an innovative resource for dental hygiene faculty: Leading the Way, Helping Our Patients be Tobacco Free. The tobacco control curriculum was designed for faculty in either two or four year programs. The comprehensive, highly flexible program contains an introduction and six, one hour modules on such issues as tobacco use, disease, addiction/dependence, oral manifestations for both conventional and smokeless tobacco, cessation strategies, how to establish a clinical tobacco cessation program and how to take the tobacco-free message into the community. To date, over 100 educators, world-wide, have registered to use this program, which is currently being evaluated at the twelve, two-year dental hygiene programs in Illinois through a three-year, $250,000 grant from the American Cancer Society, Illinois Division.
