Connecting Vietnamese-Speaking Immigrants who Smoke to the Asian Smokers Quitline: A Feasibility Pilot of Proactive Outreach Interventions.

This pilot study contributes novel data on the uptake of Asian Smokers' Quitline (ASQ) services among Asian-speaking people who smoke (PWS) with two proactive outreach interventions: 1) proactive telephone outreach with a counselor trained in motivational interviewing (PRO-MI) and 2) proactive telephone outreach with interactive voice response (PRO-IVR). We found that it is feasible to implement these proactive outreach interventions to promote the initiation of ASQ cessation treatment among Vietnamese-language speaking PWS. Future large trials are needed to rigorously compare PRO-MI and PRO-IVR and conduct budget impact analyses to understand the most efficient strategies for incorporation into health system settings.
