Parent eReferral to Tobacco Quitline in Primary Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Quitline Delivered Treatment for Secondhand Smoke. Completed, enrolled 484 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure is a significant public health problem in that it both harms children and is widely prevalent, affecting more than 40% of US children. Tobacco cessation quitlines are effective in helping smokers quit, but few smokers make use of their services. Electronic health record-based systems that automate referral of interested parents to quitlines through pediatric settings may increase the proportion of smokers who successfully enroll in treatment.

Interventions
The PA Free quitline is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and staffed by trained cessation counselors available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Counseling is available in English and Spanish and can be provided in at least 15 additional languages through a third party. All smokers who enroll in smoking cessation treatment will receive counseling and support consistent with accepted clinical practice guidelines. This treatment includes as many as 5 proactive counseling calls, each designed to help develop problem-solving and coping skills, secure social support, and plan for long-term abstinence. Participants can also call an 800 telephone number as needed for additional support between calls. The timing of counseling calls will be relapse sensitive and include a call 1-2 days after the quit date, another telephone call a week after the first call, and additional calls generally occurring at 2-3-week intervals thereafter.
