A Mood Management Intervention for Pregnant Smokers

Completed

Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Smoking

In brief

This proposal is aimed at testing the following hypotheses: 1. Cessation rates will be significantly greater for smokers in a mood management condition versus a health \& wellness condition during pregnancy and at 3 and 6 months postpartum. 2. Pregnant smokers who have a higher level of depressive symptomatology will quit significantly less often in the health \& wellness condition vs. mood management condition; those with a lower level of depressive symptomatology will not demonstrate this treatment difference. 3. Pregnant smokers who show higher levels of current depression at the start of the intervention will quit significantly less often than those smokers with lower levels. The mood management intervention will result in higher levels of adaptive coping behavior, self-efficacy, social support, and perceived support from the counselor, and lower levels of negative affect, rumination, and perceived stress, than the health \& wellness intervention and these variables will be related to abstinence. Thus, we will evaluate the effects of the intervention (health \& wellness and mood management) on hypothesized treatment mechanisms, and assess the impact of those mechanisms on abstinence.
