Abstract

Objectives. To examine abstinence outcomes among tobacco users with and without a reported mental health condition (MHC) who enrolled in state tobacco quitline programs.Methods. Data were analyzed from a 7-month follow-up survey (response rate: 41% [3,132/7,459]) of three state-funded telephone quitline programs in the United States that assessed seven self-reported MHCs at quitline registration. We examined 30-day point prevalence tobacco quit rates for callers with any MHC versus none. Data were weighted to adjust for response bias and oversampling. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine cessation outcomes.Results. Overall, 45.8% of respondents reported ≥1 MHC; 57.4% of those reporting a MHC reported ≥2 MHCs. The unadjusted quit rate for callers with any MHC was lower than for callers with no MHC (22.0% versus 31.0%,P<0.001). After adjusting for demographics, nicotine dependence, and program engagement, callers reporting ≥1 MHC were less likely to be abstinent at follow-up (adjusted OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.51–0.78,P<0.001).Conclusions. More intensive or tailored quitline programs may need to be developed among callers with MHCs as their quit rates appear to be lower than callers without MHCs.

  • Evidence-based telephone-delivered smoking cessation interventions can be efficacious but have yielded relatively low cessation rates among people with mental health disorders, typically ranging from 3% to 18%.

    “Although evidence-based telephone-delivered smoking cessation interventions can be efficacious [33], they have yielded relatively low cessation rates among people with mental health disorders, typically ranging from 3% to 18% [33, 34, 35, 36, 37].”

    The Introduction describes quitline counseling as effective, and Results §3.1 reports a lower quit rate among callers with mental health conditions than among those without them. The cited paper does not support the stated typical range of 3%–18%: its overall rate for callers with mental health conditions was 22.0%, with subgroup rates of 18.3%–24.0% in Results §3.2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
