Tricia has a masters of public health degree in community health education. She most recently worked as a cancer information specialist for UW-Madison and the National Cancer Institute, helping people across the country learn more about cancer and break their addiction to tobacco. She has been involved with youth tobacco prevention programs and coalitions aimed at affecting local clean indoor air policies and youth smoking rates.

Tricia focuses her outreach efforts in these areas:
• Providing training, resources and additional support to regional clinics and hospitals to help staff implement tobacco cessation treatment based on the U.S. Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence.

• Helping to implement the Fax to Quit program, which allows smokers to easily sign up for free telephone counseling provided by the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line. Fax to Quit is a free service available to health care providers and employers. UW-CTRI will provide data management and tracking as part of the Fax to Quit service.
