Coverage for State Employees—National Study

This national study focuses on insurance coverage for state employees. That is, in each state a public entity purchases health insurance for the state's employees and retirees. This study has two aims:

1) To identify the prevalence of insurance coverage for smoking cessation treatment among state employees, nationwide.

2) To identify those factors that influence state employers' decisions to purchase insurance coverage for smoking cessation treatment for their state employees. Data collection was completed for the State Benefits Survey, a national survey of state employers. Researchers then assessed the prevalence of insurance coverage and the role of information in the decision to purchase insurance coverage.
