Biopsychosocial Population Health Policy Proposal
vi
This assessment aims to propose a health policy targeting a vulnerable population grappling
er
with widespread tobacco use. Given the persistent adverse effects of tobacco consumption, a
health policy focused on tobacco control is vital to enhance well-being and extend the lifespan
gs
of the vulnerable population. The proposed health policy aims to achieve a reduction in tobacco
consumption and an improvement in overall quality of life within the population.
in
Policy and Guidelines Proposal to Improve Outcomes for Tobacco Use in Population
rit
Tobacco use has become prevalent among the vulnerable population, affecting both adults and
adolescents. The proposed health policy involves implementing a comprehensive tobacco
w
cessation plan and a curriculum-based approach to tobacco control, particularly targeting

prevention efforts in adolescents and young adults. The policy integrates several guidelines to
SN
ensure desired outcomes, including:
1. Developing age-appropriate tobacco control curricula for various educational levels, tailored
to cognitive abilities and developmental stages.
M
2. Mandating training for teachers to deliver effective education on tobacco control.

3. Implementing tobacco taxes and pricing strategies to discourage tobacco product use, with
additional funding allocated to establish tobacco control programs.
4. Promoting evidence-based cessation plans and interventions, including counseling sessions,
support groups, medication support, and technology-based cessation plans.

Despite potential benefits, challenges such as resource limitations and uncertainty among
students may arise during implementation. Strategic resource allocation and collaboration
between educational institutes and healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, are essential to
address these challenges and ensure successful implementation.
Need for the Proposed Policy
Research highlights the addictive nature of tobacco and its adverse effects on both physical and
m
mental health. Tobacco use among adolescents affects academic performance and contributes
to psychological issues, while adults face chronic health disorders such as lung cancer and
co
heart disease. Secondhand smoke exposure further emphasizes the need for policy intervention
to mitigate health risks associated with tobacco use.
s.
Contrary viewpoints exist, questioning the efficacy of curriculum-based tobacco control.
However, the proposed policy aims to address current outcomes and opposing perspectives
ce
through evidence-based interventions.
Inter-professional Approach to Implementing the Proposed Policy

vi
An inter-professional approach involving collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals is
er
crucial for effective policy implementation. This approach enhances efficiency and results in
high-quality outcomes by:
gs
1. Collaboratively assessing the population addicted to tobacco use.

2. Coordinating education on tobacco between teachers and health specialists.
in
3. Collaborating in designing medication therapy plans for individuals quitting tobacco use.
4. Providing patient-centered care and running tobacco-free campaigns to raise awareness.
rit
Addressing knowledge gaps, such as the long-term efficacy of cessation plans, requires
w
ongoing research and expertise in the field.

SN
Conclusion
Tobacco use poses a significant health issue in vulnerable populations, warranting the proposal
of a health policy to alleviate negative outcomes. The proposed policy addresses current
M
outcomes of tobacco addiction and emphasizes the need for intervention. An inter-professional
approach enhances effectiveness through shared decision-making and patient-centered care
strategies, contributing to improved health outcomes for the population.
