Christin D’Ovidio JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. 6/23/2018 10:19 PM Tobacco Treatment Quitlines are telephone-based services that offer counseling and information to help smokers quit. In 1992 research completed by a panel of health system experts demonstrated that telephone-based counseling for cessation is an effective treatment. California Health Department launched the first statewide telephone counseling services to help smokers quit. The North American Quitline Consortium is a non-profit organization that unites quitline stakeholders, funders, service providers, researchers and national organizations in US and Canada to maximize access, use and effectiveness of North American quitlines through forums, conducting research and providing leadership and a unified voice to promote quitlines as a valuable healthcare community resource. Funding is an important issue around quitline sustainability because the reach and scope of services a quitline provides is directly related to funding.
