In their own words
“The Pennsylvania Department of Health developed DeterminedToQuit.com to provide an online community that gives smokers a multi-functional Quit Companion tool that allows them to update and monitor their quit attempts as their quit attempt progresses, enter their lapses via an email form or text messaging from their mobile phone, schedule messages to be delivered automatically to their cell phones at specific times to help themselves fend off potential lapses during normal smoking breaks and receive messages of encouragement from loved ones, and view video blogs featuring fellow smokers currently trying to quit.
Success rates double for smokers who are supported in their quit attempt, yet less than 1 in 10 seeks out any sort of support when they try to quit smoking. DeterminedToQuit.com provides the approximately two million, or roughly one in five, Pennsylvania adults who are current smokers with an online community of support and tools required to quit using tobacco for the last time.
DeterminedToQuit.com provides Pennsylvanians unbiased content allowing smokers to truly understand the breadth of cessation options available. Individuals interested in quitting tobacco can get help now by utilizing two FREE tobacco cessation resources available 24/7 provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Those quitting or thinking of quitting should register on DeterminedToQuit.com, or call the Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW to speak to a live quit coach.”
Why it might be a killer
DeterminedToQuit.com has an attractive interface and is easy to navigate. The introductory paragraph is very useful and does a good job at explaining the objectives of the site. The success stories are a good way to get users excited about the site and their goals. It is also very useful that the site offers information on Quitnowpa.com a bilingual site for residents of Pennsylvania. The calendar is also a fun feature that gets users involved in their goal offline.
Some questions
When will DetermineToQuit.com focus on other locations besides Pennsylvania? Besides having a hotline to call for support DetermineToQuit.com could have a chat so that there would be continuous professional support online.
