The purposes of the West Virginia (WV) Right From the Start (RFTS)-Smoking Cessation and Reduction in Pregnancy Treatment (SCRIPT) Dissemination Trial are:1) to adapt and disseminate to the RFTS program two evidence based SCRIPT methods;2) to compare the effectiveness of the SCRIPT methods delivered by full-time public health staff-Designated Care Coordinators (DCC's); 3) to document the routine DCC delivery rate and cost of the methods ; and 4) to document DCC predictors and the RFTS adoption rates of a SCRIPT-Best Practice intervention for a two year period. Our goal is to institutionalize SCRIPT as part of the RFTS Program, and WV public health policy, and to produce, after peer review, and distribute evidenced based "Dissemination and Evaluation Guidelines for SCRIPT Programs for Medicaid supported Care" West Virginia and other state level stakeholders.
