The Helpline has a tailored protocol for pregnant clients. The Helpline counselors offer tailored advice to pregnant callers, and they are mailed pregnancy and breastfeeding self-help fact sheets along with the Quit Guide. The Helpline has a proactive referral pilot project with Mohave County WIC offices. Clinicians intervene with pregnant WIC clients and new mothers to encourage them to quit smoking. They obtain client consent and the Helpline calls them back to offer help.
