Definition:
Tobacco Screening Rates: Active clinical patients ages 5 and older who were screened
for tobacco use (smoking and/or smokeless tobacco) during GPRA Year 2007.
Objective:
Reduce tobacco use by adults to 12.0%.
Healthy People 2010, Goal 27.1a
Reduce the percentage of adults who smoke cigarettes to 14%.
Healthy Alaskans 2010, Goal 3.8
Summary:
• About one-third (34.3%) of KANA patients were screened for tobacco use during GPRA year 2007. This is
lower than the screening rate for Alaska Natives statewide (60.7%).
• Close to two-thirds (63.3%) of KANA patients who were screened were smokers and 3.7% were
smokeless tobacco users.
• The percent of tobacco users who received a tobacco cessation intervention within the past year was
higher for KANA than for AN Statewide and about the same as for I.H.S.
