DVD Cessation Classes • Purpose: • Alternative to Group Cessation • Objectives: • To create a TV/DVD cessation pilot program • To increase our enrollment and participation rates, targeting males 18 – 39 years

Protocol for TV Viewers • Complete an information form. • Complete CIF (canary yellow only) including date of birth. If they just want a quit kit or information only, do not complete a CIF. • In order to enroll in the US Script voucher program, the client must come to the MCTUPP offices with an Arizona identification card. • Explain voucher process and that the client will receive a page of instructions for using the voucher along with TV cessation instruction for viewing programs. • Clients need to watch the show every week to get vouchers, or talk w/ McTUPP • Each week caller must answer three out of the five questions correctly. • If two or more questions are answered incorrectly, instruct the caller to watch another airing of that week’s episode and call back. If no other episodes are available to view that week, the caller must receive intensive counseling from McTUPP covering the episode topics. • (A show outline and copy of each episode will be given to all locations.) • Viewers are not eligible for NRT vouchers if they start viewing after the first two episodes. Instruct them to attend a class or refer to MCTUPP. • If a counselor is unavailable, instruct the client that a counselor will return the call.
