PROS Training Practitioners in
|
The goal of this project is to conduct and evaluate an Internet-based training
method for clinicians in the areas of adolescent smoking prevention and cessation,
and the assessment of the Body Mass Index (BMI) of adolescents. Our long-term
goal is to improve the quality of clinical preventive services targeting adolescents
in these areas by developing more effective training methods for clinicians
in anticipation of developing future randomized clinical trials designed to
increase the effectiveness of primary care pediatric adolescent smoking cessation
interventions and adolescent BMI assessment in preventive care. PROS will
conduct the work with principal investigator Jonathan Klein, MD, from the
University of Rochester and the Center for Child Health Research Tobacco Consortium.
