Problem/Objective: Many healthcare providers have found the "Five A's" — Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange-- to be cumbersome, hard to remember and not practical for every patient at every visit.

Methods: To increase interventions in the primary care setting, The American American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) launched a program to encourage its 94,000 members and their practice teams to Ask all patients about tobacco use, then to Act to help them quit.

Results: This poster presents the results of the 1st year of the program.

Conclusions: The AAFP's easy-to-remember approach provides the opportunity for every member of a practice team to intervene at every visit. Interventions can be tailored to the specific patient based on their willingness to quit, as well as to the structure of the practice and individual providers' knowledge and skill levels.
