The document presents findings from a 2008 survey conducted by the Missouri Institute of Mental Health regarding tobacco policies and practices among agencies serving individuals with developmental disabilities. It reveals that while most agencies prohibit indoor smoking, many allow outdoor smoking, and a small percentage are completely smoke-free. The survey indicates low tobacco use among clients but higher rates among staff. Many agencies plan to change their tobacco policies, primarily facing resistance from clients and staff as barriers. The document also highlights the limited availability of cessation services and financial assistance for clients.
