Evidence-Based 

Strategies and Activities Short-Term Outcomes Intermediate Outcomes Long-Term Outcomes

Components 1: National Tobacco Control Program (State Based) 

State and Community 

Interventions

Engage communities, 

partners, and coalitions, 

and community-based 

organizations to strengthen 

capacity, and to coordinate 

and collaborate across 

programs, agencies, and 

stakeholder groups

Inform and educate 

leaders, decision makers 

and the public

Implement evidencebased, culturally 

appropriate state/ 

community interventions to 

prevent tobacco use, 

reduce SHS exposure, 

promote quitting, and 

reduce tobacco related 

disparities

____________________

Surveillance and 

Evaluation 

Maintain and enhance 

systems to collect, 

evaluate, analyze, and 

disseminate state and 

community-specific data

Use surveillance and 

evaluation data to inform 

public health action, and 

evaluate progress in 

reducing tobacco use and 

tobacco-related disparities

____________________

Infrastructure, 

Administration and 

Management

Develop and maintain an 

infrastructure aligned with 

the five core components 

of the Component Model of 

Infrastructure

Award and monitor sub 

recipient contracts and 

grants, and provide 

training and technical 

assistance

Develop and maintain a 

fiscal management system

evidence-based tobacco 

use and dependence 

treatments**

control evidence-base
Component 2: Commercial Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment Support System

Evidence-Based 

Strategies and Activities Short-Term Outcomes Intermediate Outcomes Long-Term Outcomes

Improve quitline

infrastructure to streamline 

intake, enhance services, 

absorb increases in 

demand, and accept ereferrals

____________________

Enhance quitline 

sustainability by increasing 

partnerships to diversify 

funding and working with 

private/public insurers and 

employers to provide or 

reimburse the cost of 

barrier-free quit support 

services

____________________

Expand implementation 

and reach of evidencebased tobacco use 

dependence treatment 

services, including quitline 

services

____________________

Conduct assessments of 

tobacco use and 

dependence disparities and 

develop an action plan to 

address identified 

disparities; transfer calls to 

culturally appropriate 

quitlines (Asian Smokers' 

Quitline, 1-855-DEJELOYA, 1-855-QUIT-VET)

____________________

support services to 

providers, tobacco users, 

and populations 

experiencing tobaccorelated disparities (e.g., 

Medicaid) using culturallyOptimized quitline 

intake**

private partnerships to 

ensure availability of high 

quality quit support 

services, including the 

quitline

Increased quitline funding 

from diverse sources for 

tobacco use and 

dependence treatment 

resources

culturally appropriate 

evidence-based quit 

support services, such as

digital-based technologies, 

such as texting, apps, web, 

and chat

quit support services 

among people who use 

tobacco **
