As a Community Health Officer (CHO) I want to screen individuals for tobacco use so that current tobacco use can be identified and brief counselling can be provided when required.

Acceptance Criteria

• Tobacco Use Identification section is available within Substance Use Screening.

• “Current tobacco use” is a mandatory field.

• If “Current tobacco use” is set to Yes, the following fields become mandatory:

• • Type of tobacco use
  • Frequency of tobacco use
• Type of tobacco use options include:

• • Smoking
  • Smokeless
  • Both
• Frequency of tobacco use options include:

• • Occasional
  • Daily
• Tobacco use outcome is automatically derived as:

• • Use identified when current tobacco use = Yes
  • No use identified when current tobacco use = No
• Tobacco use outcome is system-generated and read-only.
• When tobacco use is identified, the system enables Brief Counselling.
• When no tobacco use is identified, the system enables Close Screening.
• No diagnosis of tobacco dependence is recorded at the HWC level.
• No pharmacological treatment can be initiated by the CHO.
• Referral is not auto-generated and is only allowed if the CHO clinically assesses complications or dependence.
• The screening cannot be submitted if mandatory or conditionally mandatory fields are incomplete.
• Appropriate validation messages are displayed for missing required fields.
