Future ENQ Research & Operational Plans Alice Roberts, ENQ Project Manager
Knowledge Integration in Quitlines: Networks that Improve Cessation (KIQNIC) • ENQ-NAQC is discussing a research programme with U.S’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) • Scott Leischow’s KIQNIC research project has five main objectives: 1. To investigate the structure of the social network of tobacco quitlines in the US and Canada. 2. To investigate the role of social networks on the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based and newly created practices on tobacco quitlines. 3. To identify what moderating role decision-making practices within quitlines may have on the relationship between social networks and adoption of evidence-based practices. 4. To evaluate the impact of information and normative influence on decision-making within quitlines. 5. To describe the task characteristics and structural features of the quitlines that affect decision-making within quitlines.
ENQ/NAQC – Developing a Collaborative Research Programme Purpose: To develop a collaborative research agenda consisting of research topics of interest to both ENQ and NAQC, highlighting the comparative aspects of the two networks including existence of tobacco control policies (price, smoke-free laws, labeling, etc.), level of funding, tobacco use prevalence, quitline services offered. Quitline’s currently involved in discussions: • Italy • Netherlands • Slovak Republic • France • Sweden. • Spain The goals of the calls will be to • identify areas of mutual interest for research • brainstorm a list of potential research topics • prioritize the list of topics and identify 3-5 topics to pursue • identify one funding opportunity that closely matches one of the high-priority topics • submit a research proposal for that topic. Moving forward • NIH FOA (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-379.html) • Scheduled monthly meetings
Central and Eastern Europe Capacity Building and Social Exclusion programme Participating Quitlines Schedule of Activities Dissemination of the Social Exclusion Resource will occur in the next few weeks.
