DESCRIPTION): The potential to save lives globally through cessation initiatives has been well documented. By the year 2020, if adult consumption were to decrease by 50%, approximately 180 million tobacco related deaths could be avoided. In addition to having immediate potential for saving lives, cessation support is a relatively noncontroversial foot-in-the-door for other tobacco control initiatives and is very timely in light of adoption of guidelines for implementatio of Article 14 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. There is a major gap between written cessation guidelines and effective implementation. The current proposal will address this gap and will seek to build capacity in Tunisia, a country with a substantial tobacco burden. Tunisia recently ratified the FCTC and is strategically located to reach countries in Northern Africa and the Middle East. We will work through our existing partnership on chronic disease prevention and will leverage resources within the center of excellence for research and prevention of chronic disease in Sousse, Tunisia. Our specific aims include engaging our Tunisian colleagues in formative research including focus groups, surveys, and pilot studies with health professionals and tobacco users and providing multidisciplinary training to health professionals through workshops offered initially for those in Sousse and followed by workshops for national and regional audiences. Our long-term goal is to develop in Sousse an established multidisciplinary training program to increase capacity for implementation of Article 14 in the region and to inform Article 14 implementation more broadly. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The current project meets the goals of the Funding Opportunity Announcement by addressing the critical problem of tobacco cessation through a collaborative multidisciplinary approach that will also build capacity through training of faculty colleagues and through a series of workshops targeted at health professionals. This program of research will help to address the gap between written cessation guidelines and effective implementation.

描述）：通过戒烟倡议在全球范围内拯救生命的潜力已经得到了很好的记录。到2020年，如果成人消费量减少50%，就可以避免约1.8亿例与烟草有关的死亡。除了具有挽救生命的直接潜力外，戒烟支持对于其他烟草控制举措来说是一个相对无争议的开端，而且鉴于《烟草控制框架公约》第14条实施准则的通过，这是非常及时的。在书面戒烟指导方针和有效执行之间存在着重大差距。目前的提案将解决这一差距，并将寻求在突尼斯这个烟草负担沉重的国家进行能力建设。突尼斯最近批准了《烟草控制框架公约》，而且地处战略位置，可与北方非洲和中东国家联系。我们将通过我们现有的慢性病预防合作伙伴关系开展工作，并将利用突尼斯苏塞慢性病研究和预防卓越中心的资源。我们的具体目标包括让我们的突尼斯同事参与形成性研究，包括重点小组、调查和与卫生专业人员和烟草使用者的试点研究，并通过最初为苏塞的卫生专业人员举办讲习班，然后为国家和区域受众举办讲习班，向卫生专业人员提供多学科培训。我们的长期目标是在苏塞制定一个既定的多学科培训方案，以提高该区域执行第十四条的能力，并更广泛地宣传第十四条的执行情况。 公共卫生相关性：目前的项目通过多学科协作方法解决戒烟这一关键问题，并通过培训教职员工和举办一系列针对卫生专业人员的讲习班来建设能力，从而实现了《筹资机会公告》的目标。这项研究计划将有助于解决书面戒烟指南和有效实施之间的差距。
