5. Conclusions
This study identified predictors of re-engagement among adults enrolled in a cessation intervention who relapsed or failed to initially quit by three months after enrolling in a cessation quit line intervention study. We identified initial intervention use and personal characteristics associated with re-engagement, including non-White race and confidence in one’s ability to quit smoking someday. Our results point to the importance of initial quit line intervention engagement in the process of increasing the likelihood of re-engagement, specifically for participants who attended all offered counseling sessions. Future studies should further explore the associations between initial intervention engagement and potentially modifiable motivational factors that could be leveraged in future interventions to maintain continued engagement in the cessation process.
