Abstract

This report presents findings for the fiscal year 2017 (FY17) of the Iowa Tobacco Quitline Evaluation conducted by the Center for Social and Behavioral Research (CSBR) at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). The study was funded by the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Division of Tobacco Use Prevention and Control (Tobacco Division). The purpose of this project is to evaluate Quitline Iowa, a service for state residents that provides telephone-based tobacco cessation counseling. All Iowa residents who call Quitline Iowa are eligible to receive free tobacco cessation counseling. The primary goals of the Quitline evaluation are: 1) to assess tobacco quit rates among Quitline Iowa clients; 2) to assess client satisfaction; and 3) to assess program consistency.
