    Effectiveness and Significance of Publication:
    Tobacco Ties can be used with a wide variety of health professions learners. Currently it is used to prepare first-year PA students for a tobacco cessation counseling standardized patient encounter and to introduce third-year medical students to effective counseling skills in the Family Medicine Clerkship. Student evaluation subsequent to a tobacco cessation standardized patient encounter with 1st-year students, the didactic sessions which included viewing and evaluating "Tobacco Ties" resulted in an overall score of 3.4 on a scale of 0-4. Additionally, the video was independently scored by a standardized patient instructor who has been working in tobacco cessation counseling for over 20 years.

    The SPI scored all TIRFIS, TBMS/CCS items as 5s (1-5) with the exception 2 items in TIRFIS and 3 items in TBMS/CCS. These skills were intentionally weak or omitted in the film in order to provide learners with the opportunity to discriminate between highly effective skill performance and less effective performance on individual skills.
    Special Implementation Requirements or Guidelines:
    None.
    Lessons Learned:
    Feedback from students and faculty has been so positive that a second film portraying an African American woman with diabetes whose cultural beliefs and support system create additional barriers to weight loss will be filmed on September 12th, 2008.
