1SAMHSA’s 2015 State Policy Academy on Tobacco Control in Behavioral HealthJune 18-19, 2015Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)1 Choke Cherry Road, Rockville, Maryland 20857SAMHSA Policy Academy State Action PlansThe second annual SAMHSA Policy Academy co-hosted by the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) tookththplace on June 18 -19 at the SAMHSA headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. Those selected to attend were amongspecialists and leaders in the field of tobacco control and behavioral health representing Indiana, Kentucky,Montana, Ohio and Wyoming. The Policy Academy provides an environment for participants to learn from publichealth officials, provide statewide collaboration, discuss strategies led by a trained results-based decision makingfacilitator, and ultimately for each state to develop a customized action plan tailored to their state tobacco andbehavioral health data in preparation to convene a local State Leadership Academy for Wellness and SmokingCessation.A distinguished panel of speakers including Wilson Compton, MD, MPE, Deputy Director of the National Instituteon Drug Abuse, Simon McNabb, Senior Policy Advisor from the Office on Smoking and Health at Centers forDisease Control and Prevention, and Shelina Foderingham, MPH, MSW, Director of Practice Improvement from theNational Council for Behavioral Health presented on an array of topics from e-cigarettes, epidemiology of tobaccouse, co-morbidities, policy and practice, socioeconomics of tobacco use, mental health and substance abuse, andfunding strategies. Dr. Steven Schroder, Distinguished Professor of Health and Health Care at University ofCalifornia, San Francisco and Director of SCLC educated attendees on the heavy burden of cigarette smokingamong the behavioral health population, given that this population consumes 40% of the cigarettes sold in theUnited States. Additionally, words of support and encouragement were given by Fran Harding, Director of Centerfor Substance Abuse and Prevention at SAMHSA.The Academy began with attendees participating in a gallery walk of collected nationwide and state data. The datarepresents this epidemic through population based tobacco use and smoking rates among the indicated mentalhealth and substance abuse populations, from the five participating states. In a discussion led by results-basedfacilitator Beroz Ferrell, participants were asked about their reactions to the gallery walk. Themes that emergedfrom this discussion include expanding data collection, prioritizing tobacco control efforts in state public healthagendas, importance of integrating cessation and policy, and eliminating disparities.“Rather surprised at the disparity of the tobacco usage among this population.”“Significant health condition and such a killer”“No standard method for data collection”“Relatively low priority”“We need a strategic direction from a policy perspective.”“We have an opportunity to expand the data we collect”“I see the trends, digging into the data, we need to take action. We need to do something.”1

2The following document captures the collaborative work from the five states and isintended to be a preliminary tool to help launch each state’s summit.Meeting Purpose: To learn about the epidemic of tobacco use and behavioral health and whatworks to reduce the prevalence To understand the statewide collaborative process to address tobacco use bythose with mental health and substance use disorders To prepare states to convene a potential local State Leadership Academy forWellness and Smoking CessationMeeting Results:By the end of the Academy the participants: Understood their roles in implementing a successful local effort Identified and agreed upon a proposed state baseline and target to inform thedirection of the state efforts Created a draft invitation list of committed partners to leverage statewide effortsIndiana Action Plan.

19Policy Academy Concluding Thoughts“Ready to get started”“Move forward and keep the momentum going”“Connected to each �Informed”“I didn’t know most of people before, they are a special group of people and fortunate to have met them and knowthem”“Time for us to start strategizing”“The conversations we had are really sincere commitments among our team members”“Eagerness to go back”By the end of the Policy Academy, state representatives learned what works, made commitments to change, anddeveloped strategies to help individuals with mental illness and addictions live longer, healthier lives. The Academyhelped catalyze communication between state departments and advocates and each learned to be successful inthe implementation of organizing local efforts. In assuring success in the implementation of organizing local effortsit is important to remember these key points, have a catalytic leader to keep the momentum, perform proposalbased decision making (PBDM), manage and move through conflict, and remembering why you came together inthe first place.In conclusion, as mentioned by Acting Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and HumanServices, Dr. Karen DeSalvo, “It is alarming that, despite declining tobacco use in the overall U.S population,smoking prevalence for adults with mental illness or substance use disorders has not changed significantly over thelast couple of decades. We cannot be complacent when we hear that nearly three out of four people ages 12 andolder who received substance abuse treatment at a specialty facility in the past year reported smoking cigarettes inthe past month. We can change this.” Amongst creating new relationships and coalitions, states that attended leftwith an action plan and potential tools for implementation to create or build upon existing tobacco control andbehavioral health initiatives within their state
