American Indians in Oklahoma have higher rates of tobacco use (29.2%) than any other racial group in the state. The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline provides free cessation services to all Oklahomans and implements strategies specifically aimed at increasing the utilization and effectiveness of cessation services for American Indians.
To explore Helpline utilization patterns as well as outcomes, such as participant satisfaction and success in quitting, for American Indians. The utilization patterns and outcomes for American Indians were compared to that of the white population from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2013, to determine whether the Helpline is equally effective among American Indians compared to whites.
Helpline utilization data from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2013, were analyzed in the fall of 2013 to identify patterns and compare differences between American Indian and white Helpline registrants. Four- and 7-month follow-up survey data were used to compare outcomes related to satisfaction with services and quit rates.
During the 3-year study period, 10.6% of registrants who enrolled in an intervention were American Indian (11,075) and 71.2% were white (74,493). At the 7-month follow-up survey, 31.7% of American Indians reported having used no tobacco in the past 30 days compared to 36.5% of whites, but the differences were not statistically significant between racial groups.
The Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline is equally effective for American Indian and white tobacco users who register for Helpline services.

探讨美国印第安人对帮助热线的使用模式以及诸如参与者满意度和戒烟成功率等结果。将2010年7月1日至2013年6月30日期间美国印第安人的使用模式和结果与白人的进行比较，以确定该帮助热线对美国印第安人是否与白人同样有效。
2013年秋季分析了2010年7月1日至2013年6月30日期间的帮助热线使用数据，以确定模式并比较美国印第安人和白人帮助热线登记者之间的差异。使用4个月和7个月的随访调查数据来比较与服务满意度和戒烟率相关的结果。
在为期3年的研究期间，参加干预的登记者中有10.6%是美国印第安人（11,075人），71.2%是白人（74,493人）。在7个月的随访调查中，31.7%的美国印第安人报告在过去30天内未使用烟草，而白人的这一比例为36.5%，但不同种族群体之间的差异无统计学意义。
