Phone-Based Postpartum Continuing Care for Smoking Cessation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation, Pregnancy

In brief

Smoking is a leading cause of death and other negative health outcomes. While a high percentage of women quit smoking during pregnancy, the majority relapse in the first 6 months postpartum. We propose developing and pilot testing a phone-based postpartum continuing care (PPCC) protocol based on existing evidence-based approaches to increase smoking cessation, reduce relapse, increase early re-intervention, and reduce infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in the postpartum period.
