Ask. Advise. Refer.
Posted by CarolSouthard on 31 Aug 2007
Summary: Ask. Advise. Refer. is the American Dental Hygienist Association's national Smoking Cessation Initiative (SCI) designed to promote cessation intervention by dental hygienists. The Ask. Advise. Refer. approach integrates the "5 A's" (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange) into an abbreviated intervention that remains consistent with recommended guidelines.
Description of Research
A national network of state SCI Liaisons has been established to disseminate pertinent information to hygienists on how to incorporate Ask, Advise. Refer. into clinical practice.
As part of the Ask. Advise. Refer. campaign, dental hygienists refer their patient/client to quitlines as well as to web-based and local cessation programs.
