Objective:
To summarize recommendations from Youth Tobacco Cessation: A Guide for Making Informed Decisions for careful consideration, selection, implementation, and evaluation of youth cessation interventions.
Methods:
Recommendations were developed from an evidence review and consensus from a multidisciplinary advisory panel.
Results:
Identified essential elements for selecting, planning, delivering, and evaluating youth cessation interventions.
Conclusions:
Until there is more evidence for effectiveness of youth specific cessation interventions, clinicians and practitoners should adopt treatments that use cognitive-behavioral approaches for youth cessation interventions that require careful planning and rigorous evaluation.
