Important Community Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations for Quitlines!

Dear <<First Name>>,

The Community Preventive Services Task Force has released new recommendations on strategies for increasing the use of quitlines. The recommendations are based on strong evidence of effectiveness in increasing tobacco cessation among clients interested in quitting. The evidence was based on findings from 60 trials of proactive telephone counseling when provided alone or in combination with additional interventions.

The three interventions considered to be effective at increasing use of quitlines are:

1.   Mass-reach health communication interventions that combine cessation messages with a quitline number.
2.   Provision of free evidence-based tobacco cessation medications for quitline clients interested in quitting.
3.   Quitline referral interventions for health care systems and providers.

ASK THE LISTSERV!
 
NAQC offers a networking Listserv exclusively for NAQC members. The goal of the Listserv is to foster dynamic exchange of information among NAQC members to create an online environment where members can dialogue with colleagues about issues important to quitlines in real time, including issues related to operations, services, quality standards, research and growth. To post to the Listserv, please send an e-mail to NAQC@listserv.naquitline.org. It is a great opportunity to receive live feedback from your peers on topics of importance.
