MDS Intake Questions July 21, 2009 Notes: The updated MDS Intake questions contain two options for assessing use of different tobacco types. The first (Option 1), which is included in the primary section of the intake questions, assesses for all types of tobacco at the same time. Option 2 is included in the Appendix and contains exactly the same questions, but in a different order. Option 2 reflects the ordering of the original MDS and asks about cigarette use first and other types of tobacco later. The two options are provided in an attempt to provide maximum flexibility for quitlines, while increasing standardization of the individual questions.
