Provider reminder systems with a provider education program with or without educational materials for tobacco-using clients are recommended for reducing tobacco use and exposure based on strong evidence of effectiveness that this combination: increases provider delivery of advice to quit to tobacco using clients and increases client tobacco use cessation. Provider reminder systems with provider education are multicomponent strategies to increase tobacco use cessation. These strategies include efforts to educate and to prompt providers to identify and intervene with tobacco-using clients, as well as to provide additional educational materials. The components of this intervention are a provider reminder system and a provider education program with or without client education materials such as self-help cessation manuals.
