Abstract

Tobacco use rates remain high in many subpopulations (eg, low-income individuals) who experience several addressable health inequities. Community clinics are ideal sites to address these inequities because of their traditional service populations, commitment to prevention, and links to their communities. We present a case study of one such clinic's strategies to improve system-based tobacco cessation and discuss observed gains in relevant quality improvement metrics.
