In November 2017, Central Queensland Public Health Unit launched the '10,000 Lives' initiative to reduce smoking prevalence in Central Queensland. The program partnered with local champions and other programs (e.g. 'Deadly Choices') to promote the use of smoking cessation services (e.g. Quitline) in Central Queensland. This study assesses the program's impact on Quitline use by participant demographics and Indigenous status.
We compared the number of referred individuals who participated in and completed the Quitline program, and quit smoking during 26-months before (July 2015 to August 2017) and after (November 2017 to December 2019) the '10,000 Lives' launch. We conducted an interrupted time series analysis of monthly referrals to and use of Quitline for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Overall, 3207 individuals were referred to Quitline during the 26-months-post-launch compared to 1594 during 26-months-pre-launch period of '10,000 Lives'. The number of referred individuals who completed Quitline program increased by 330.7% and quit smoking by 308.3% in post-launch period. The increase was substantially higher among aged 45+ years, females and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The result for referrals and use of Quitline was validated by interrupted time series analysis for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The '10,000 Lives' collaborative approach to partner with local champions and targeted smoking cessation programs was effective in increasing the use of Quitline and smoking cessation among all demographic groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This approach can be used in other regions to address higher smoking prevalence.
2017 年 11 月，昆士兰中部公共卫生部门启动了“万人生命”倡议，以降低昆士兰中部的吸烟率。该计划与当地冠军和其他计划（如“致命选择”）合作，在昆士兰中部推广使用戒烟服务（如戒烟热线）。本研究评估了该计划对参与者人口统计学和土著地位的戒烟热线使用的影响。
我们比较了在“万人生命”启动前（2015 年 7 月至 2017 年 8 月）和启动后（2017 年 11 月至 2019 年 12 月）的 26 个月内，参与并完成戒烟热线项目并成功戒烟的被转介者人数。我们对土著和托雷斯海峡岛民每月转介和使用戒烟热线的情况进行了中断时间序列分析。
总体而言，在启动后 26 个月内，有 3207 人被转介至戒烟热线，而在“万人生命”启动前的 26 个月内，有 1594 人被转介。在启动后，完成戒烟热线项目的被转介者人数增加了 330.7%，成功戒烟的人数增加了 308.3%。在年龄 45 岁以上、女性和土著及托雷斯海峡岛民中，这一增长幅度要高得多。中断时间序列分析验证了土著和托雷斯海峡岛民转介和使用戒烟热线的结果。
“万人生命”的合作方法是与当地冠军和有针对性的戒烟计划合作，这一方法有效地增加了所有人群，包括土著和托雷斯海峡岛民，对戒烟热线和戒烟的使用。这种方法可以在其他地区使用，以解决更高的吸烟率问题。
