A variety of strategies such as paid and earned media, NRT provision and healthcare provider referrals are used to promote the use of quitlines. When these strategies are more national in scope, such as promotions of the 1-800-QUIT-NOW
access number, they have the potential to increase the number of smokers reached and helped throughout North America.

Research and evaluation are the cornerstones for improving the quality and effectiveness of quitlines in North America. NAQC’s research work seeks to advance the science base and understanding of factors that impact quitline effectiveness.
