“…Quit rates in both conditions were low, but consistent with the two previous randomized trials to-date with PLWH in which 6-month or longer outcomes yielded quit rates that ranged from 4% to 10% using different intervention approaches such as cell-phone counseling 20 and motivational interviewing. 20,22 Despite theoretical support and previous literature in the general population suggesting that tailored-counseling would yield better outcomes 17,[60][61][62][63] and that tailored videos and materials would better engage participants, 64,65 Aurora did not prove to have added benefit beyond that conferred by the ESC condition. Aurora consisted of significantly longer sessions and a greater number of in-person visits and calls, yet the increased intensity did not translate into better cessation outcomes in this study.…”

“…However, there are difficulties in comparing the quit rates among studies due to the differences in the definitions of quit rate, the target populations, and follow up periods (see appendix, table A1 (to view the appendix please visit the Tobacco Control website-http://www.tobaccocontrol.com/supplemental)). Although the US Clinical Practice Guidelines use the seven day point prevalence abstinence rate or continuous abstinence rate, calculated by intention-to-treat analysis with or without validation at five or more months follow up, as the main outcome measure in smoking cessation, 12 only the Quitlines of Western NewYork State 6 and California 5 and two other targeted Hotlines for young mothers 22 and African Americans 23 used such a definition. Moreover, the Western New York State and the California Quitlines included only motivated callers in the study and the targeted Hotlines recruited smokers through extensive media campaigns, thus limiting their comparability to other Quitlines.…”

“…The Australian Quitline 11 reported the continuous abstinence rate at six months (7.8%) without using intention-to-treat analysis. All other Quitlines targeted at the general smoking population [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] or specific population groups [22][23][24] reported 24 hour point prevalence quit rates or other quit rates (for example, one month or three month point prevalence quit rates). Only the Western New York State Quitline 6 reported biochemically validated quit rates.…”

Objective: To describe the characteristics of the Chinese subjects who utilised the first telephone smoking cessation service in Hong Kong, and to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: The Quitline provided Hong Kong residents with free telephone smoking cessation services which was publicised through a press conference, media reports, pamphlets, and posters at public and private hospitals and clinics. Callers who completed an initial interview from 13 December 2000 to 31 May 2002 were included. Smokers were interviewed using a structured record sheet and provided with stage matched counselling. A follow up interview was carried out after six months. Analysis was conducted by intention-to-treat. Results: Of the 1120 callers who completed initial assessments, 1047 were current smokers and 872 consented to follow ups. Compared to the general smoking population, the Quitline attracted more of those who were female, younger, single, unemployed, higher educated, smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day, and those with quitting experience. At six months, 12% (95% confidence interval 10% to 15%) of the participants reported that they had not smoked a cigarette for the past seven days. A stepwise logistic regression model showed that the use of nicotine replacement therapy at the present attempt to quit, having made one or more serious attempts to quit in the past, perceiving less difficulties in quitting, and smoking the first cigarette at age 15 years or above were significant predictors of quitting. Conclusion: This first Quitline in Asia appears to be acceptable to Chinese smokers, with quit rate comparable to those of better funded Quitlines in the West. A low cost Quitline is a promising model for smoking cessation services in the East.

“…22 Promising results have been found for a small number of studies using telephone counseling to extend effects of a school-based prevention program, 30 to promote requitting among smokers with recent unsuccessful quit attempts, 31 to support short-term abstinence among low-income women provided with free nicotine patches and proactive calls, 32 to promote short-term abstinence among smokeless tobacco users, 33 and as part of a tailored intervention for African American smokers. 34 Mixed results have been found for proactive calls to augment personalized written feedback, with a 12-month effect found for calls when combined with stage-tailored materials and expert system personalized feedback in the second of 2 trials by Prochaska et al 35,36 and higher short-term abstinence reported in a trial by Curry et al 37 Mixed results have also been found for proactive calls to support nicotine replacement use. No effect was reported by earlier trials, 38 -40 although promising results have been found in a more recent trial by Solomon and colleagues 32 and in preliminary data from our trials.…”

Quitlines provide a model for the translation of research findings to public health application. Quitlines are currently in operation in more than half of US states, in Canada, and in multiple countries globally. Overall, when implemented correctly, quitlines have been shown to be efficacious and effective. Multiple quitline models are in use, but there is no evidence on the relative effectiveness of one over the other. Differences have been demonstrated for the efficacy of quitlines for specific applications, with the strongest evidence base for application as a primary intervention or as follow-up for hospitalized patients and particularly for cardiac patients. The evidence base for both reactive and proactive services is reviewed, and future directions to continue to advance the field are discussed. Q uitlines provide an exemplary model of how research findings can be translated into public health application. The field began with a handful of researchers in the early 1980s and experienced marked growth through the past 2 decades. Currently, in North America, quitlines are in operation in more than 30 US states, a number of major American health systems, and multiple Canadian provinces. Quitlines are also available in multiple countries globally, including Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and others.Overall, when implemented correctly, quitlines have been shown to be both efficacious and effective. The beneficial impact of quitlines has been supported by 3 meta-analyses 1-3 and by multiple individual studies.The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the goals, range of services, and models for quitlines; to summarize the evidence base for what works; to discuss a special and growing application of quitlines to adolescents; and to provide a look at directions for the field. Overview: Goals, Range of Services, Quitline ModelsGoals. Quitlines can have the greatest potential impact when used as part of a comprehensive tobacco control effort. Within this context, quitlines can have 2 primary goals to maximize their public health influence. First, quitlines can provide direct service to help smokers quit. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that only 2.5% of smokers quit permanently each year 4 ; similar figures have also been reported for the United Kingdom. 5 These rates suggest that there is considerable opportunity for quitlines to directly affect smoking cessation behavior; even a small percentage increase in quit rates has the potential to translate into meaningful public health change.A second primary goal of quitlines is to increase the number of smokers making a quit attempt each year, by awareness raising generated from promotional campaigns linked with quitlines. Even if success rates for quitting remain constant among those who try, increasing the number of smokers who make a quit attempt can yield a greater number of total quitters. About ...
