Quitline utilization and continuous cessation according to interpersonal communication about incentive-based program and incentive importance for quitline connections (n = 970)

	Quitline utilization				Continuous cessationa
	No utilization		Utilization		Not smoke free		Smoke free
Variable	Total (n = 327)	%	Total (n = 643)	%	Total (n = 786)	%	Total (n = 184)	%
Interpersonal communication
Did not tell others (n = 481)	204	62.4	277	43.1	403	51.3	78	42.4
Told others (n = 489)	123	37.6	366	56.9	383	48.7	106	57.6
Incentive importance
Incentive not important (n = 304)	118	36.1	186	28.9	244	31.0	60	32.6
Incentive important (n = 666)	209	63.9	457	71.1	542	69.0	124	67.4

Note. Each of the four bivariate relationships totals to 970 participants. Four separate chi-square values were obtained for each of the four bivariate associations: (a) utilization by interpersonal communication = 32.32, p < .001; (b) utilization by incentive importance = 5.16, p < .05; (c) continuous cessation by interpersonal communication = 4.70, p < .05; (d) continuous cessation by incentive importance = 0.17, p > .10. All associations were statistically significant except for continuous cessation by incentive importance.
