NAQC Encourages State Quitlines to Participate in DOD’s Tobacco Cessation Support Locator!
YouCanQuit2 is the Defense Department's campaign to help U.S. Service members quit all forms of tobacco in order to improve health, well-being, and military readiness. Originally launched in 2007, the campaign provides information, motivation, and support to stay or become tobacco free using tools such as the interactive YouCanQuit2 Quit Plan, 24/7 Quit Tobacco Live Chat, and a savings calculator as well as website articles, content, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). While the campaign primarily targets Service members, it can be used across audiences including the families of Service members.
Because of frequent deployments and moves, and a population located world-wide, YouCanQuit2 recently launched a Support Locator to make it easy for Service members and others to find resources and support for a variety of tobacco cessation needs. Users can filter search results by geographic location, Military Base, Military Service, type of support, or type of tobacco product to find a program that meets their specific needs. We are reaching out to request submissions from quitlines. Programs and services can submit a resource here; resources must be free and available to Service members and/or their family members. Submissions will be reviewed regularly for publication. If there are any questions, please reach to Dr. Brandi Alford at brandi.n.alford.ctr@mail.mil.
