“…Although one recent study did not focus on patients with cancer, the findings showed that the average quitline ITT abstinence rates for those with and without mental health disorders (excluding bipolar and schizophrenia) were 9% and 14%, respectively, at a 7-month follow-up. 35…”

Key PointsQuestionAre there differences in abstinence rates between patients with and without cancer after treatment in a comprehensive tobacco cessation program delivered in an oncologic setting?FindingsIn this cohort study of 3245 smokers in a tobacco treatment program, mean smoking abstinence rates were 45.1% at the 3-month follow-up, 45.8% at the 6-month follow-up, and 43.7% at the 9-month follow-up; rates did not differ between patients with and without cancer. Patients with head and neck cancer were among those with the highest abstinence rates.MeaningWhen exposed to a comprehensive tobacco treatment program, smokers with and without cancer showed sustained high quit rates and did not differ from each other, suggesting that comprehensive treatment in an oncologic setting may be successful.

“…As previously reported, early cessation outcomes for the initial MHC pilot in Texas (N=311) demonstrated higher quit rates for pilot participants than for those with MHCs in SC, but findings were not significant owing to the small sample size and low-response rates. 37…”

Introduction:The general efficacy of quitlines has been widely demonstrated, but uncertainty exists regarding how quitlines might best intervene for persons with mental health conditions. A total of 1 in 5 people in the U.S. has a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. These individuals smoke at 2-4 times the rate of smoking among those without a mental health condition and face high rates of related death and disability. About half of quitline callers self-report a mental health condition, but until recently, quitline protocols tailored to these smokers did not exist.Methods: This paper provides initial results for tailored mental health programs from the largest quitline providers in the U.S., Optum and National Jewish Health. From 2017 to 2018, cohorts of callers with a mental health condition who enrolled in tailored programs were compared with cohorts with a mental health condition who received standard care. Both mental health programs offered participants additional calls, longer duration of combination nicotine-replacement therapy, and attention to mental health issues. Analyses were conducted in 2018−2019.Results: Findings suggest that callers with a mental health condition benefit from both standard care and tailored mental health services. Tailored programming did well in engaging people with mental health conditions. At the same time, there were no significant differences in abstinence rates when comparing mental health programs with standard care. Mental health cohorts did receive significantly greater service durations, more counseling calls, and longer nicotine-replacement therapy duration.Conclusions: Tailored mental health quitline programs present a promising framework for testing the services that address psychiatric symptoms as well as other frequent population characteristics such as chronic illness. Implications for increasing reach to the often underserved population with a mental health condition are discussed.

“…Carpenter et al 11 conducted a pilot study comparing an enhanced, tailored quitline program for smokers with MHCs to a standard quitline program, to examine feasibility and acceptability of the tailored program. Early results were promising in that smokers with MHCs in the tailored intervention completed nearly twice as many calls and were more likely to accept shipments of nicotine replacement therapy as compared to those with MHCs in the standard quitline program.…”
