Abstract: 

For several years, the Center for Tobacco Independence (CTI) has contracted to have phone surveys conducted with a sample of people who call the Center's Help Line. Data from these surveys provide a great deal of information such as the rate of success in quitting tobacco and the methods that are most successful. Beginning in 2009, the Muskie School's Survey Research Center (SRC) became CTI's survey contractor, conducting 730 telephone interviews with a random sample of people who called the Help Line. Following up on the success of that study, SRC will conduct the phone interviews in 2012.
