Self-help program for pregnant smokers is ineffective.(Stop for Good self-help program )(Brief Article)
2003 JAN 9 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The U.K. government wants to cut the percentage of women who smoke during pregnancy from 23% to 15% by the year 2010. But a new study finds that a self-help approach implemented during routine antenatal care is ineffective.
The study involved 128 midwives working in three NHS trusts in England and 1527 women who smoked at the start of pregnancy. Half the women received normal antenatal care (normal care group) and half received the Stop for Good self-help program in addition to normal care (intervention group). All women were surveyed 26 weeks into their pregnancy. Those who said they had not smoked for at least 7 days supplied a urine sample for validation.
Validated smoking cessation rates were low: 19% in the intervention group and 21% in the normal care group. Self-reported quit rates were higher. In the intervention group, 26% of women reported not smoking for at least 7 days, compared with 29% in the normal care group.
