State Projects
The ActionToQuit State Grant Program funds innovative projects that expand use of tobacco cessation treatments. With funding from the Pfizer Foundation, Partnership hopes to dramatically increase access to and use of proven tobacco cessation treatments through this grant program. The focus of the ActionToQuit State Grants is system and policy change in tobacco cessation which will be accomplished through the strengthening of state level alliances for tobacco cessation. These alliances will chart a course for increasing coverage for these services in States, strengthen quitlines, work with health systems/employers/insurers, and promote the importance of tobacco cessation. As a result, utilization of these treatments will increase and tobacco use will decline.
The 2010 ActionToQuit state grantees worked with representatives from various sectors including insurers, state health departments, quitlines, public health organizations, health systems, and employers to advance tobacco cessation. The six original ActionToQuit grantees and three new grantees will begin project in early 2011 to increase access to tobacco cessation treatments in their states.
