TL;DR
Because it can reach a large number of smokers, this program can substantially contribute to disease prevention at a population level and was effective in increasing smoking cessation rates.
Abstract
The program was effective in increasing smoking cessation rates. Because it can reach a large number of smokers, this program can substantially contribute to disease prevention at a population level.

SEQ-12 is a valid and reliable scale, which has applications in both research and clinical settings, and can also produce input data for computer systems that generate counselling reports tailored to the characteristics of each individual smoker.

Overall, the telephone counseling significantly increased smoking cessation at the 3-month follow-up, but not at 12 or 21 months, and among smokers who were precontemplative at baseline, telephone counselingificantly increased prevalent abstinence at 3 and 12 months and continuous abstinence at 21 months.

A shift to the right of the distribution of current smokers across stages may help increase quit rates and thereby reduce smoking prevalence, and this hypothesis should be tested in prospective intervention studies.

The present results show that the self-help material currently available in the Netherlands, the standardized self- help guide, was not effective among smokers with low readiness to change, however, computer-generated tailored interventions seem a promising means of communicating information on smoking and smoking cessation to these smokers.
