The full paper is intended to be a stand-alone document to support efforts to produce a standard NAQC quit rate. While randomized controlled trials have established the efficacy of quitlines, quit rates can assess the effectiveness of quitlines in real-world settings, under certain conditions or with different populations. Standardized quit rates can help quitline managers make better quitline purchasing decisions and provide evidence of program effectiveness; they can also be used to explore trends and facilitate discussion among NAQC members. It is important to have a standard quit rate definition so that when quit rates are compared over time or between quitlines, any differences observed are not due to differences in research methods. To make recommendations in this paper that balance the interests of multiple stakeholders, the authors used the criteria of methodological rigor, real-world feasibility, and the potential for use of findings.
