The prevalence of tobacco use among persons with mental illnesses is 2 to 3 times that of the general population, and these individuals suffer significant related health disparities. Many people with mental illnesses contact tobacco quitlines for cessation assistance. With free telephone counseling and in some cases nicotine replacement therapy, quitlines offer a potentially effective resource for this population. However, quitlines are still trying to determine how best to meet these callers' unique needs. The authors discuss emerging practices regarding quitline services for persons with mental illnesses, as well as expert opinion for enhancing work with these individuals.
精神疾病患者的烟草使用流行率是普通人群的 2 到 3 倍，这些人存在显著的相关健康差异。许多精神疾病患者寻求戒烟热线以获得戒烟帮助。通过免费电话咨询，在某些情况下还提供尼古丁替代疗法，戒烟热线为这一人群提供了一个潜在有效的资源。然而，戒烟热线仍在努力确定如何最好地满足这些来电者的独特需求。作者讨论了针对精神疾病患者的戒烟热线服务的新兴实践，以及专家意见，以增强与这些个体的合作。
