SCRIPT® (Smoking Cessation and Reduction in Pregnancy Treatment) is a nationally recognized training that has long helped healthcare and public health professionals deliver motivational interviewing-based counseling to support pregnant individuals in quitting tobacco.
The new self-paced, three-module training includes these updates:
- CDC-aligned guidance on e-cigarettes
- Medicaid billing insights for sustainable delivery
- New home visiting protocols
- Enhanced tools for documentation and prenatal care integration
SCRIPT® aligns with AHRQ guidelines and Medicaid-covered services—making it ideal for clinical, WIC, home visiting, and community health settings.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Apply motivational interviewing techniques to guide behavior change.
- Integrate SCRIPT® into routine prenatal screening, counseling, and follow-up.
- Apply real-world tools for use in clinical, public health, and home visit settings.
- Evaluate and support pregnant clients with structured documentation and counseling workflows.
HESPA II Sub-competencies:

After over 20 years working in tobacco control and cessation, I understand the special needs of pregnant smokers and have been instrumental in developing protocols for cessation services specific to this population. I have worked with the SCRIPT® program and behavioral health organizations, in the state of Mississippi, to help reduce tobacco use among pregnant smokers for 8 years and was in the first Train the Trainer workshop offered through SOPHE in 2012. I have worked to help pregnant smokers quit and realize how hard it can be to get past an addiction and deal with pregnancy at the same time.
