The Kaiser Permanente prenatal smoking cessation trial
The effectiveness of low cost smoking interventions targeted to pregnant women has been demonstrated, although few gains in absolute cessation rates have been reported in the past decade. Under conditions of typical clinical practice, this study examined whether outcomes achieved with brief counselling from prenatal care providers and a self help booklet could be improved by adding more resource intensive cognitive behavioural programs. Randomise…
Predictors of intentions to stop smoking early in prenatal care
Three options to smoking cessation assistance are proposed for pregnant smokers with low intentions of quitting: targeting, triage, and tailoring. Further research is needed to determine which approach is most appropriate
The dissemination of smoking cessation methods for pregnant women
The smoking prevalence rate among adult women and pregnant women has decreased only 0.3 to 0.5% per year since 1969. Without a nationwide dissemination of efficacious smoking cessation methods based on these trends, by the year 2000 the smoking prevalence among pregnant women will be approximately 18%. This estimate is well above the US Department of Health and Human Services Year 2000 Objective of 10%. The US dissemination of tested smoking cess…
Maintenance of nonsmoking postpartum by women who stopped smoking during pregnancy
This paper describes self-reported maintenance of nonsmoking at six months postpartum by women whose abstinence was verified beginning before the 20th week of pregnancy and continuing through delivery (n = 134). The overall maintenance rate of 37 percent was not related to sociodemographic characteristics, smoking and obstetric history, the time when quitting occurred, or a prenatal smoking cessation program. Although this rate is encouraging, mo…
A randomized trial of a serialized self-help smoking cessation program for pregnant women in an HMO
We report the results of a population-based randomized clinical trial that tested the effectiveness of a prenatal self-help smoking cessation program. The intervention consisted predominantly of printed materials received through the mail. The population (n = 242) consisted of a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse group of pregnant women enrolled in a large health maintenance organization (HMO) who reported they were smoking at the time of t…
Reducing Access Barriers to the Use of Reading-Based Information
In a previous study it was found that mental health professionals working within community mental health centers (CMHCs) value published social science research as input into the policy decision-making process, yet frequently experience problems in accessing such literature in a timely and efficient manner. The current study was undertaken in order to determine whether access barriers could be reduced via the use of computer-based literature sear…
Shaping Decisions with Reading-Based Information
Previous research has documented the fact that policy makers underutilize social science research literature in shaping their decisions. The two factors most often identified as accounting for this utilization gap are quality of research and organizational/political constraints. A third factor that has received relatively less attention is barriers to accessing relevant literature. To determine the importance ofaccessproblems among mental health …
