Maine offers an opportunity to examine temporal changes in quitline reach and referral sources in the context of a comprehensive tobacco treatment programme. The impact of a $1.00 cigarette tax increase is also examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is a descriptive analysis of Maine Tobacco Helpline call volume September 2001 to December 2006. Annual reach was estimated using a cross sectional state surveillance survey. Weekly call volume was examined during 2005, a year of marked changes in tobacco taxes and quitline resources. Referral patterns were analysed yearly.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Maine\u2019s Tobacco Helpline observed more than a threefold increase in population reach during a four year interval, from 1.9% to over 6% per year. Calls increased substantially in 2005, concurrent with added hours of operation and a rise in the cigarette tax. Over time, callers increasingly reported hearing about the quitline from health professionals, from 10% in 2001 to 38% in 2006.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Tobacco treatment programmes offering free nicotine therapy and professional medical education can drive quitline utilisation over time. Call volume can also be affected by quitline operational and policy changes that promote the reduction of tobacco use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2007.019935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,29]],"date-time":"2007-11-29T20:05:05Z","timestamp":1196366705000},"page":"i33-i36","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Increasing reach of quitline services in a US state with comprehensive tobacco treatment"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Susan","family":"Swartz Woods","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy E","family":"Haskins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMsa020660"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000441-200310000-00010"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(00)00297-X"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.9.suppl_2.ii48"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2005.014555"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1097\/00124784-200601000-00009","article-title":"Reach, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of free nicotine medication give away programs.","volume":"12","author":"Cummings","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Pub Health Manag Pract"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.12.suppl_2.ii53","article-title":"Uptake and effectiveness of the Australian telephone quitline service in the context of a mass media campaign.","volume":"12","author":"Miller","year":"2003","journal-title":"Tob Control"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.9.2.148"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.9","first-page":"37","article-title":"Fax to quit: a model for delivery of tobacco cessation services to Wisconsin residents.","volume":"104","author":"Perry","year":"2005","journal-title":"Wisconsin Med J"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2005.011726"},{"key":"2024051409385827000_16.Suppl_1.i33.11","unstructured":"State Tobacco Settlement Special Report.
