“…It is important to note that among those eligible for 4–5 counseling calls, participants completed an average of two calls. This is consistent with data from other state quitlines [34,40,41] and prior research indicating that individuals often complete less than half of scheduled counseling sessions. [42] Efforts to boost treatment engagement may be needed since non-adherence to medications and counseling can reduce treatment effectiveness.…”

Background Use and effectiveness of tobacco quitlines by weight is unknown. Purpose Determine if baseline weight is associated with treatment engagement, cessation or weight gain following quitline treatment. Methods Quitline participants (n=595) were surveyed at baseline, three and six months. Results Baseline weight was not associated with treatment engagement. In unadjusted analyses, overweight smokers reported higher quit rates and were more likely to gain weight after quitting than obese or normal weight smokers. At three months, 40% of overweight vs. 25% of normal weight or obese smokers quit smoking (p=0.01); 42% of overweight, 32% of normal weight, 33% of obese quitters gained weight (p=0.05). After adjusting for covariates, weight was not significantly related to cessation (approaching significance at six months, p=.06) or weight gain. Conclusions In the first quitline study of this kind, we found no consistent patterns of association between baseline weight and treatment engagement, cessation or weight gain.

“…Thus, there is not a no-exposure condition in this study, because all designated market areas had substantial levels of ad exposure. However, the quit outcomes for these states (30-day point prevalence abstinence rate of 24.5%) during the Tips campaign are in line with 7-month outcomes reported for other state quitline samples ( 22 , 27 ). Second, although a standard method of examining campaign exposure, television GRPs reflect estimated population-level exposure to a media campaign and do not necessarily reflect an individual’s exposure to the campaign.…”

IntroductionAntismoking mass media campaigns, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Tips from Former Smokers (Tips) campaign, increase the number of tobacco users calling tobacco quitlines. Few studies have investigated long-term tobacco use cessation for callers during antismoking media campaigns. Studies have suggested that callers during campaigns may be less committed to quitting and have lower quit rates. This study examines tobacco user cessation outcomes 7 months after quitline enrollment during the 2012 Tips campaign (March 19 through June 10, 2012).MethodsWe analyzed data for 715 tobacco users who enrolled in the Nebraska, North Carolina, or Texas state quitline multiple-call programs during the 2012 Tips campaign and responded to a 7-month postenrollment survey (38.5% survey response rate). We used multivariable logistic regression analyses to determine whether 7-day and 30-day point prevalence abstinence rates 7 months after enrollment were related to level of exposure to the campaign.ResultsIn multivariable models, only lower nicotine dependence and higher call completion were associated with higher odds of 7-day and 30-day abstinence 7 months after enrollment. Tips campaign exposure was not associated with abstinence.ConclusionOnce enrolled in quitline counseling, quitline callers achieved similar outcomes regardless of Tips campaign exposure levels. While the campaign did not appear to directly affect odds of tobacco abstinence through quitlines, antismoking mass media campaigns such as Tips are valuable in increasing tobacco users’ exposure to quitlines and thus increasing their likelihood of making a quit attempt and eventually achieving tobacco abstinence.

“…Additionally, ENDS users, especially those using ENDS to quit, may have scored lower on baseline dependence measures due to already having replaced some conventional cigarettes with ENDS. Finally, although the 52% 6-month response rate is reasonable for a real-world evaluation,27 58 59 it may limit the generalisability of findings. Data were weighted to reduce non-response bias.…”
