  1. Update on NAQC’s Research Agenda & Infrastructure for Quitlines NAQC Seminar Series December 9 and 11, 2009 North American Quitline Consortium Jessie E. Saul, Ph.D., Director of Research

  2. What is the difference between a research agenda and a research infrastructure? • Research agenda = prioritized areas and topics for research that fill existing gaps • Research infrastructure = tools, protocols, and mechanisms that promote progress on the research agenda

  3. Why develop a research agenda for quitlines? • Commitment to adding to the evidence base • Much we do not know • Desire to focus our efforts

  4. Process for developing a research agenda • Build on previous work (NIDA conference, white paper) • Key informant interviews (done) • Focus groups with representatives of all quitline stakeholders (spring 2010) • Draft agenda presented to NAQC members (summer 2010) • Revisit and revise regularly

  5. Initial tools for the research infrastructure • Repository of quitline- and internet-related cessation research articles • Listing of ongoing quitline and internet research projects • Collection and development of sample agreements between researchers and quitlines • Guidelines for multi-center studies

  6. NAQC’s role in facilitating research • Conduct outreach to research community educating about the existence of quitlines and the potential for research • Consultation and guidance for researchers and quitlines in the research design process • Facilitation of identifying interested quitlines and researchers to work together

  7. How can I get involved? • Participate in a focus group • Join the research infrastructure workgroup • Provide feedback on the draft research agenda • Volunteer to participate in research studies
