Publisher's Synopsis
The foundation of the ASCENT curriculum, this comprehensive guide is divided into six sections, each addressing a specific Stage of Change. It includes checklists, quit tips, suggested exercises, and time requirements. Research-based, ASCENT is based on the Stages of Change model, which approaches smoking cessation as a process instead of an event. Youths are better equipped to quit for good-which can help reduce further experimentation with other addictive substances.
