What is Efficacy and Cost-effectiveness of a Clinic-based Counseling Intervention Tested in an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Pregnant Smokers about?
## Objective: Rates of cigarette smoking are higher among women who receive obstetric care through publicly funded prenatal clinics. this study compared smoking outcomes for pregnant women (n=105) who were randomized to receive either usual care (standard cessation advice from the health care provider) or an intervention conducted in the prenatal clinic consisting of 1.5 h of counseling plus telephone follow-up delivered by a masters prepared mental health counselor. ## Methods: Subjects were 105 low income, predominantly hispanic, pregnant patients in an urban prenatal clinic. smoking outcomes were assessed at end of pregnancy and 6 months post-partum. ## Results: At follow-up, 28.3% and 9.4% of participants in the experimental intervention and 9.6% and 3.8% of patients in usual care were abstinent at end of pregnancy (p=.015) and 6 months post-partum, respectively (p=.251). cost of the intervention was $56 per patient and cost to produce a non-smoker at end of pregnancy was $299. ## Conclusions: This model for intervention was cost-effective and was associated with significantly lower smoking rates at end of pregnancy. ## Practical implications: If these findings are replicated,
