Timeline
Interventions
Pro-active telephone counselling allows for repeated, sequenced calls to be made by quitline counsellors to smokers and for counselling to be provided during accepted calls.
Reactive counselling usually involves the provision of evidence-based information to support quit attempts without any or with only very brief counselling to accompany it.
