title: Recommendations and guidance for practice in youth tobacco cessation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize recommendations from Youth Tobacco Cessation: A Guide for Making Informed Decisions for careful consideration, selection, implementation, and evaluation of youth cessation interventions.
  
  
  METHODS
  Recommendations were developed from an evidence review and consensus from a multidisciplinary advisory panel.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Identified essential elements for selecting, planning, delivering, and evaluating youth cessation interventions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Until there is more evidence for effectiveness of youth specific cessation interventions, clinicians and practitoners should adopt treatments that use cognitive-behavioral approaches for youth cessation interventions that require careful planning and rigorous evaluation.
