Consumers with serious mental illness smoke more and are at higher risk for smoking-related illness. We examined provider and consumer factors influencing the implementation of the evidenced based “5A’s” (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange) in six community mental health centers in greater Baltimore. Data collected as part of a larger study examining the effectiveness of delivery of the 5A’s at patient visits. First, we examined responses to a survey administered to 49 clinicians on barriers and attitudes toward delivering the 5A’s. Second, we used multilevel models to examine variance between patients (n=228), patient factors, and variance between their psychiatrists (n=28) in the delivery of the 5A’s (and first 3 A’s). The most strongly endorsed barrier was perceived lack of patient interest in smoking cessation. Psychiatrists and patients both accounted for significant variance in the delivery of the 5A’s and 3A’s. Patient “readiness to change” predicted delivery of the full 5A’s, while smoking severity predicted delivery of the first 3 A’s. There is a critical need for creative and collaborative solutions, policies, and clinician training to address actual and perceived obstacles to the delivery of evidenced-based smoking cessation treatment in the mental health care setting.
