PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN ALABAMA

Alabama has identified ways to help increase quitline use among the Medicaid population. The state tobacco program partnered with the state Medicaid program to conduct targeted media campaigns for Medicaid recipients and sent direct mailings to more than 235,000 Medicaid recipients promoting the quitline. Medicaid callers increased by more than 200% during these targeted outreach efforts. Approximately 44% of quitline users reported Medicaid as their insurance provider during that period. Efforts like this in states complement the efforts of the Tips From Former Smokers Campaign™ (Tips)™.
