Dear Colleagues,
 
NAQC is pleased to release the “Priority Practices Report”. Building on the 2018 “Adoption of Recommended Best Practices among State Quitlines” issue paper which identified 21 best practices from 17 issue papers, the new report identifies six high priority best and promising practices for adoption by all state quitlines by June 2023. The criteria used to identify the priority practices reflect expectations within the quitline community for improving the quality of quitline services: Increase reach; improve impact; adapt to emerging issues; be feasible; and be sustainable.

In early 2023 NAQC plans to host an interactive webinar to review the priority practices, feature current relevant research, and facilitate discussion with the quitline community. More information on this opportunity for dialogue will be shared in the new year!
 
NAQC staff looks forward to working with quitlines interested in implementing these practices over the coming year.
 
Regards,

Katie Mason, MPP
