  • A dynamic referral system connected interested participants to matched tobacco treatment providers.
  • The program was evaluated in 2008 across emergency, employee assistance, and tobacco dependence programs in New Jersey, using interviews and satisfaction ratings.

    • Main Results:

    • Patient satisfaction scores were high, averaging 4.48 out of 5.
    • 87% of patients received tobacco resources and referrals they would not have otherwise received.
    • 62% of participants offered a dynamic referral accepted it.

    Conclusions:

    • The CABIT program is a user-friendly and desirable service for both patients and healthcare providers.
    • Further research and clinical trials are needed to confirm CABIT's effectiveness in promoting tobacco cessation.
    • The CABIT program shows promise for increasing engagement with tobacco treatment services.
