INSTrUCT. An open educational resource in brief intervention on smoking in university students

Tobacco consumption represents the first cause of preventable illness, disability, and death in the world, being considered an avoidable “pandemic”. According to the World Health Organization (2020; [WHO]), tobacco consumption, at a global level, is responsible for over eight million deaths per year. All in all, the INSTrUCT course has the general goal to enable healthcare profession students in the assessment of the tobacco consumption status and in the main interventions to quit smoking.
This manual intends to guide the professor through the implementation and assessment of the INSTrUCT course and to discuss which is the role of the professor and the student during its development.
