Key Points

To develop a standardized minimal dataset and protocol across North American tobacco cessation quitlines to allow for data pooling, cross-program comparisons, and collaborative evaluation.
Convened a North American Quitline Consortium working group with service providers, funders, evaluators, and researchers across Canada and the United States.
Conducted a two-year iterative consultation using principles of utilization-focused evaluation to reach consensus on evaluation domains, indicators, and data collection protocols.
Produced a minimal dataset comprising 15 core items collected from eligible callers at intake and eight items collected from participants during evaluation.
Established standardized recommendations regarding participant selection criteria, length of follow-up, and handling of repeat callers.
Achieved adoption and operational implementation across the majority of North American quitlines by the end of 2006.
