title: Variability of healthcare practitioner intervention among 18- to 24-year-old tobacco users.
abstract: A survey of 184 young, rural, tobacco users found that healthcare professionals often assessed tobacco use, although there was significant variability by professional type (physician vs. dentist) and tobacco service (advise vs. referral). Females reported significantly higher levels of receiving tobacco services (advice to quit) than males.
