Self-Monitoring of Carbon Monoxide to Enhance Reproductive Outcomes in Women

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Smoking, Smoking Cessation

In brief

Our goal is to study self-monitoring of smoking as a means to reduce smoking in pregnant women. Investigators hypothesize that more regular self-monitoring, text messages and feedback as provided by home carbon monoxide monitoring device combined with medical feedback on results will reduce smoking during pregnancy compared to only receiving text message and no self-monitoring by home monitoring device and no feedback by home carbon monoxide monitoring device . The periconceptual period is a life period, where given the immediacy of the fetus and future child, a pregnant woman is willing to try and modify potentially harmful behaviors.
