Tobacco Quitline Retreatment Interventions Among Adults With Socioeconomic Disadvantage: A Factorial Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: A single round of standard tobacco quitline treatment may not be sufficient to sustain abstinence, particularly among people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage. Adaptive retreatment may help more individuals with socioeconomic disadvantage achieve abstinence and reduce disparities in smoking cessation outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate 4 evidence-based strategies for adults with limited education, no insurance, or Medicaid eligibility who continued smoking after quitline treatment.

Cost-effectiveness of stop smoking incentives for medicaid-enrolled pregnant women.

Maternal smoking increases mortality and morbidity risks for both mother and infant. The First Breath Wisconsin study examined the cost-effectiveness of providing incentives to pregnant women who smoked to engage in stop smoking treatment. Participants (N = 1014) were Medicaid-enrolled pregnant women recruited from September 2012 to April 2015 through public health departments, private, and community health clinics in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line's Fax to Quit program: participant satisfaction and effectiveness.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line's (WTQL) clinic-based Fax to Quit (FTQ) provider referral program in terms of participant satisfaction and short-term quit outcomes, and to compare those findings to a non-FTQ provider referral group.

Methods: A sample of 432 WTQL callers completed a telephone survey approximately 3 months after they received WTQL services. Of these, 265 contacted the WTQL based on a clinic referral and served as the basis for analyses.

A decade of experience promoting the clinical treatment of tobacco dependence in Wisconsin.

Background: The University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI) is the designated lead agency at the University of Wisconsin-Madison charged with the responsibility of reducing the harms from tobacco use in Wisconsin and beyond. In 2000, the UW-CTRI, with funding from the state of Wisconsin, launched a population-wide effort--the Wisconsin Cessation Outreach Program (Program)--to increase the availability and use of evidence-based clinical treatments for tobacco dependence. This paper describes the Program's strategies, outcomes, and impact on the clinical treatment of tobacco dependence in Wisconsin.
