Strategies
The National Partnership
to Help Pregnant Smokers Quit is working in five key
areas:
- Ensuring that systems are in
place to screen all pregnant woman for tobacco use, and that all
pregnant and postpartum smokers receive best-practice cessation
counseling by 2005.
- Effectively using the media to
promote the benefits of smoking cessation for pregnant smokers, and
to show their partners, families, friends, and neighbors how to
assist them in their quit attempts.
- Making smoking cessation services
and support widely available in communities and workplaces to
encourage pregnant women to quit and support them in their efforts
to do so.
- Promoting policies that support
smoke-free environments and improved access to cessation
treatments, and encouraging economic support for such
policies.
- Promoting research and evaluation
efforts to develop more effective cessation
interventions.
