Self-reported 7-day quit rates for thoracic center patients contacted at least twice by the cessation support service (n=394).

Please note: a “current user” is someone who reports using tobacco, at least a puff, in the past 7 days. A “newly quit” patient includes those who reported current use at the last contact, but now reports being 7 days tobacco free. “Maintained quit” is someone who reports the previously mentioned quit definition for the previous and current contacts. “Relapse” is someone who reports quitting at the previous contact, but is now reporting current tobacco use. Follow-up time was through August 2013. Among those contacted twice, the average time to the first cessation support call was 46.1 days and was 44.6 days between the first cessation support call and follow-up. The p-value for the difference between referral (n=52/394; 13.2%) and the first cessation support call (n=54/394; 13.7%) overall quit rates is p=0.834. The p-value for the difference between the first cessation support call (n=54/394; 13.7%) and follow-up (n=100/394; 25.4%) overall quit rates is p<0.001.
