| | Second, the GHPS did not survey students in all health professions whose members could provide patients with cessation counseling (e.g., chiropractors, traditional healers, psychologists, and counselors). | | | The public health community should target cigarette smoking among health-profession students because this behavior endangers their own health and reduces their ability to deliver effective antitobacco counseling to their patients. | | | Therefore, one of the strategies to reduce the number of smoking-related deaths is to encourage the involvement of health professionals in tobacco-use prevention and cessation counseling. |

| | Washington Update: Should Psychology Become a Primary Health Care Profession? |
| | The Cartesian world view, which separates mental health from physical health, is breaking down, and as a result psychology has a tremendous opportunity to evolve into a premier behavioral health care profession. | | | First of all, there is no profession better qualified than psychology to conduct the careful diagnostic assessments that would tease out the complex comorbidities that many of these individuals suffer from. | | | The more visionary -- if less probable -- perspective is that health care should be reorganized so that psychologists serve as primary caregivers at the gateway to the health care system, functioning to diagnose and treat the more prevalent psychological problems, and referring to medical physicians when indicated. |

| | But our aspiration to move toward the center stage of health has been facilitated by research demonstrating that psychological and social factors, in addition to behavioral ones, are predictive of a host of illnesses and biological outcomes. | | | Now that the scientific foundation for psychology as a health profession has been established, the challenge for us is to move to the center of health-care delivery systems and be viewed as health-care providers more generally. | | | From a scientific perspective, psychology got its foot in the health door on the basis of decades of research on behavioral risk factors for illness (e.g., unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking). |
