- Abstract
The article presents an evaluation of a smoking cessation intervention for pregnant women in an urban prenatal clinic. A smoking cessation and relapse prevention intervention was tested in African-American women. The intervention consisted of individual skills instruction and counseling by a peer health counselor on the use of a self-help cessation guide and routine clinic reinforcement. It was found that quitters were light smokers at entry into prenatal care.
