Awareness and use of telephone-based behaviour change support services among clients of a community mental health service.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of, and factors associated with, awareness and use of telephone-based behaviour change support services among clients of a community mental health service.

Methods: Adult clients (n=375) of one Australian community mental health service completed a telephone interview and self-reported not meeting Australian National Guidelines for smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption and/or physical activity. Descriptive statistics summarised awareness and use of the New South Wales Quitline and Get Healthy Service for participants with lifestyle risk factors addressed by each service.
