NAQC January Webinar - Quitline Cost Sharing Models: New Research to Inform Our Practice

Quitline Cost Sharing Models: New Research to Inform Our Practice

You are invited to join us on Wednesday, January 16 from 12:30-2:00 PM ET for the next NAQC webinar onQuitline Cost Sharing Models: New Research to Inform Our Practice.

Public-private cost sharing partnerships provide states with a way to increase reach without increasing their financial costs to operate quitline services. Such partnerships distribute costs between state tobacco programs and private payers such as health insurance companies, employer groups and unions. Additionally, as more states engage in cost-sharing partnerships, it is essential to compile information to help inform national and state efforts.

In this webinar, Julie Rainey, Vice President, and Vanessa Klisch, Program Evaluator, from Professional Data Analysts, Inc. (PDA) will share their recent research findings on existing cost-sharing models discovered through a series of interviews with state quitline administrators and service providers and present considerations for states employing different models. Jessie Saul, NAQC’s Director of Research, will introduce new NAQC Annual Survey of Quitlines questions based on the cost-sharing typology developed by PDA in order to capture a broader view of these efforts and discuss ways that findings might be used to track progress and improve practice.

We look forward to your participation!
