April 28, 2020 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released today a final recommendation statement on primary care interventions for prevention and cessation of tobacco use in children and adolescents. The Task Force found that interventions can help prevent tobacco use in children and teens, but more research needed on how to help youth quit. To view the recommendation, the evidence on which it is based, and a summary for clinicians, please go here. The final recommendation statement can also be found in the April 28, 2020 online issue of JAMA.
