Summary

This project is responsive to the identified gap of lack of tobacco cessation training programs in Latin American \& Caribbean countries. Currently, smoking rates in the Latin American and Caribbean region are high, and previous surveys show that health professionals do not have enough skills to help smokers to quit. In consequence, in absence of trained health professionals, many smokers who visit health care services are under-treated. The Fruitful Project aims to adapt an original on-line course developed in Spain to the reality of the three Latin American countries (Bolivia, Guatemala and Paraguay) and disseminate evidence-based tobacco cessation interventions among health care professionals.

Tobacco cessation online training

The original course has been developed in the online platform e-oncologia (http://www.e-oncologia.org/en/) based on the in-person courses offered during the last 10 years by the Tobacco Control Unit of the Catalan Institute of Oncology. The theoretical framework underpinning the training program is the Stages of Change Model and the curriculum was developed with the content of numerous meta-analysis and clinical practice guidelines. We created a fully referenced curriculum online, with feedback from an expert advisory group that oriented in the instructional design to ensure the course content was palatable for an online format and aligned with the learning objectives. The final curriculum content of the "Brief Intervention for Smoking Cessation Training Program" is composed of 4 modules.
