MQC Works.
The MQC quit rate for our case managed clients is 20%. Of those who continue to smoke during their pregnancy, almost all (865) were able to reduce their cigarette consumption.
A recent study found that the percentage of pregnant MQC clients who resumed smoking within a year of their baby’s birth is 50% compared to a national rate of between 75–85%.
