Development of Best and Promising Practices is a NAQC hallmark. From the beginning, NAQC has worked collaboratively with its members and partners to improve the quality of quitline services. Development of a Minimal Data Set for Evaluating
Quitlines (MDS) set a foundation for quality improvement activities.
Public-private partnerships can be a viable option for ensuring quitline sustainability and ensuring access to evidence-based services for all tobacco users wanting to quit tobacco. The NAQC public-private partnership initiative strives
to provide states with the knowledge, resources, and technical assistance to successfully establish partnerships with both private and public insurers.
Since 2004, each year NAQC conducts a survey of quitlines in North America. The information collected in the survey advances our understanding of quitline operations and services. NAQC published the original Minimal Data Set (MDS)
in 2005 and all quitlines in the U.S. and Canada adopted use by early 2006. The MDS includes required and optional questions that are asked of callers at intake and seven-month follow-up. The standardized MDS questions create data
that is useful for delivery of cessation services, surveillance of quitline callers and evaluation of quitlines. Learn more about these and other research initiatives.
