  • Describe how the “spirit” or underlying perspective of motivational interviewing can be applied to smokers
  • Explain how to speak with smokers who may not be ready to quit
  • Describe how to elicit “change talk” from tobacco users

Date and Registration

The webinar will take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm EDT.
