Abstract Summary
Study of 9,645 U.S. mental health facilities reveals only 42% offer smoking cessation counseling—critical since tobacco use is highest among those with mental health conditions. Public facilities are significantly more likely to provide these services than private for-profit (30% less likely) or non-profit counterparts, raising concerns as mental healthcare privatization expands.
Why Brain? đź§
Public mental health facilities offer more smoking cessation services than private ones, raising concerns as healthcare privatization grows among vulnerable populations with high smoking rates.
