Expecting to Quit: A Best Practices Review of Smoking Cessation Interventions for Pregnant and Postpartum Girls and Women
|
|
This review examines both evaluated smoking cessation interventions tested in pregnant populations and unevaluated program materials to determine the most effective strategies to facilitate smoking cessation both during pregnancy and into the postpartum period. Broader social and biological issues which affect cessation, including low socio-economic status, social environment, ethnicity, maternal age, and nicotine dependence, are considered to provide insight into the reasons why some women continue to smoke during pregnancy.
