ANTHC Nicotine Research and Control Program
About us:
In September 2003, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) established the Nicotine Research and Control Program to provide assistance in the development of capacity and infrastructure needed for comprehensive tobacco control programs for Alaska Natives.
Specifically, the Nicotine Research and Control Program provides assistance to health care centers in the Alaska Tribal Health System (ATHS) to develop, expand, or revitalize their nicotine dependence treatment services. Program development is based on the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) recommended strategies to systematically approach tobacco use and treatment.
Our program staff established a successful nicotine dependence treatment program in 2001 at the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Center in Bethel, Alaska, and currently maintains a treatment program in Anchorage for ANTHC employees and patients of the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC).
By increasing access to nicotine dependence treatment services and building capacity for comprehensive tobacco control, ANTHC can assist its owner/beneficiaries to quit using tobacco and improve their health and the health of their families.
