Grantees

Addressing Tobacco in Managed Care (ATMC) funds two types of grants. Planning grants lay the groundwork for the development of a strong evaluation proposal and may be used to fund pilot or demonstration projects that yield evidence of: (1) systems change impact (e.g., an increase in smoker identification); (2) clinician adherence to systems changes; or (3) an effective working relationship between managed care organizations and researchers. Evaluation grants assess the impact of systems changes on such outcomes as rates of smoker identification, rates of clinician intervention, staff acceptance, rates of quit attempts in the managed care population, costs of the intervention efforts, and smoking cessation outcomes.

The second group of ATMC projects began their research on December 1, 2001. Click on the titles below to view summaries of current research projects.
