【 摘 要 】

Smoking during pregnancy has an adverse effect on the health of 400,000 infants each year in the United States. As part of a state level response to this public health need, a Midwest smoking cessation program operates in partnership with 160 prenatal care sites emolling over 11,000 pregnant women between the years of2005 and 2015. Over 900 trained healthcare specialists at these sites provide smoking cessation programming as part of existing prenatal care. The intervention includes: individualized smoking cessation counseling, incentives, quit-line information and optional support programming. This descriptive study analyzed data collected via surveys at program emollment and postpartum to calculate quit and dropout percentages from each provider site type. High performance sites (high quit-low dropout) were compared to low performance sites (low quit rate-high dropout) based on provider site type, and participant characteristics. Top high and low performance provider site types were identified and descriptive statistics established similar characteristics between the provider site types;; participants, such as education level, age, marital status, and race. This translational research provides smoking cessation program coordinators with characteristics to guide overall programmatic changes as well as unique recommendations for program sites and positive quit rate outcomes for pregnant women.
