PPHF 2014: Tobacco Use Prevention ¿ Public Health Approaches for Ensuring Quitline Capacity ¿ financed solely by 2014 Prevention and Public Health Funds

archived

The primary purpose of this FOA is to ensure and expand quitline capacity so that all callers to the quitline during a federal media campaign are offered at least one coaching call, either immediately upon calling or by being re-contacted within two to three days. The secondary purpose is to continue to expand the capacity of state tobacco control programs to implement evidence-based cessation interventions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. These interventions include: (1) ensure infrastructure for state quitline; (2) improve quitline capacity; (3) participate in surveillance and evaluation efforts; (4) identify and target disparate populations; (5) improve sustainability; (6) increase media efforts; (7) enhance quitline protocol and operations; (8) improve understanding of comprehensive cessation coverage for Medicaid recipients; and (9) promote health systems change.
