The goal of this effort is to work with behavioral health and community partners, including people with lived experience, to reduce tobacco use across the state among people experiencing mental health conditions and substance use disorders.

OHA HPCDP has contracted with the Rede Group to support project activities and partner engagement to strengthen the capacity of behavioral health providers and agencies to adapt to evolving programs and systems that support increased tobacco screening and treatment. This will be achieved through research, workforce development, and targeted technical assistance that equips professionals with the knowledge, resources, and opportunities needed to prepare for and implement change.

Rede Group produced these reports on behalf of the Oregon Health Authority, Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Program.
