QSN

In North America we benefited from continued very strong performance in the aerospace segment, additional revenue from QSN acquired in the third quarter, and new sales from contracts won earlier in the year.

The QSN condition was designed to be more engaging (eg, it included multimedia components) and to present much greater content than is typically found in smoking cessation programs.

Currently, because grant funding has ended, neither the QSN nor Active Lives website is currently available for review.

The QSN condition provided participants with smoking cessation information and behavior change recommendations while the Active Lives condition provided participants with physical activity recommendations, monitoring, and goal setting.

The outcome results did not support our hypothesis that the QSN online smoking cessation intervention would be more effective than a credible control condition.

At the 6-month assessment, remarkably similar proportions of participants in the QSN and Active Lives conditions reported that they engaged in vigorous physical activity-40. 2\% (173 / 430) vs 38. 0\% (163 / 429), respectively-and moderate physical activity-76. 7\%

Although mean program exposure measures (especially duration) favored the QSN program when compared with the Active Lives control condition, the extent of these observed differences was not as large as had been expected.

The two conditions did not differ in terms of the proportion of online assessments at 3 months, but QSN had more online 6-month assessments than the Active Lives condition:

Analyses of pharmacotherapy usage were supportive of the fact that the QSN condition compared to the control condition encouraged significantly greater use of this treatment approach (more than 60\% vs approximately 47\%), although it is important to acknowledge that almost half of participants in the control condition used pharmacotherapy without being explicitly told to do so.

We analyzed ratings of program ease of use obtained at the 3-month assessment from 67. 0\% (351 / 524) of QSN participants and 72. 6\% (366 / 504) of Active Lives participants.
