Evidence of real-world effectiveness of a telephone quitline for smokers
Abstract
A telephone counseling protocol for smoking cessation, previously shown to be efficacious, was proven effective when translated to a real-world setting. In a randomized, controlled trial of 3282 smokers, those in the treatment group (1973 callers) had abstinence rates approximately double the rates of subjects in the control group (1309 callers) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after quitting smoking. The success of this protocol supports Public Health Service guidelines calling for greater availability of quitlines.
