SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scope of Problem Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of premature death and disease in the United States, causing about 480,000 deaths each year and costing the country over $300 billion annually in health care spending and lost productivity.1 2 Helping tobacco users quit completely is the quickest approach to reducing tobacco-related disease, death, and costs.7 Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term health benefits.1 While quitting smoking at any age is beneficial, smokers who quit by the age of 35 to 44 years can prevent most of the risk of dying from a smoking-related disease.1 8 Most cigarette smokers say that they want to quit, more than half try to quit each year, and almost three in five American adults who ever smoked have quit.3 Several treatments are proven effective in helping tobacco users quit, including individual, group, and telephone counseling and seven FDAapproved cessation medications.3 4 Receiving advice to quit and quitting assistance from health care providers also increases quit rates.4 5 The use of both counseling and medication when trying to quit is more effective than using either method alone.4 5 However, only one-third of smokers use counseling and/or medication when trying to quit, and only one in twenty smokers use both.3 While adult cigarette smoking rates have been declining overall for several decades, certain groups continue to smoke at high rates and face special challenges in quitting, including adults who live below the poverty level and adults with behavioral health conditions.6 Those with behavioral health conditions include adults with mental illness or substance abuse disorders. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) defines mental illness as any diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder and defines substance use disorder as dependence or abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs. Many resources are available to help smokers connect with evidence-based treatments. Telephone quitlines exist in all states and other innovative and emerging resources are available such as web based platforms, texting, chat, and mobile apps. Many smokers, however, are unaware of these resources or have misconceptions about them. PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Approach CDC is seeking information from the public to inform future activities that could efficiently and cost effectively connect tobacco users with evidencebased treatment options to help them quit. We plan to use the information gathered to inform activities including, but not limited to, state tobacco control programming, national governmental and nongovernmental organization work, and other entities that work to make broadly available and sustainable connections between people who want to quit using tobacco and evidencebased cessation assistance. The goal of this effort is to ensure that all tobacco users who want help quitting are aware of and have ready access to evidence-based treatment options through channels that they are comfortable using, including but not limited to telephone quitlines. We will carefully review and consider all comments received to this request for information. CDC is specifically interested in receiving information on the following topics: (1) How can CDC leverage emerging technologies to deliver evidence-based cessation interventions through new and innovative platforms that have broad reach, especially among younger adults, those with low income, and adults with chronic and/or behavioral health conditions? (2) What are some innovative approaches to reduce the cost—in time, staffing, and funding—of providing effective cessation services to people who want to quit using tobacco? (3) How might standardization of quitline services achieve greater efficiency while also preserving state quitlines’ ‘‘brands,’’ flexibility, and capacity for innovation? (4) What communication channels and communication strategies should CDC consider employing to ensure that both tobacco users, including those belonging to high-risk and disadvantaged populations, and health care providers are aware of and have access to evidence-based cessation resources? (5) What role should CDC, state and local health departments, not for profit institutions, traditional healthcare providers, and/or professional healthcare partner organizations, play in ensuring that high-risk populations (such as smokers living below the poverty level or those with behavioral health conditions) have access to tailored cessation services of appropriate intensity to help them successfully quit?
