“…The median NOQAS score was 7.0 (range = 5–9) for cohort studies (including RCTs) and 6.6 (range = 4–8) for cross‐sectional studies (see Supporting information, Tables S2, S3). Of the 55 included studies, 36 (65.5%) were considered to be of high quality (cohort: [29,31,32,34,36,37,39,41,42,45–47,49,50,54,60,64,65,67,69,72,74,76,78]; cross‐sectional: ). Nineteen (34.5%) were deemed to be of low quality.…”

“…Women who continue to smoke through pregnancy are at increased risk of placental abruption [7,12], an infant with low birth weight and preterm birth before 37 weeks gestation [7,13]. Australian evidence suggests the pregnant women least likely to cease smoking are the young, socioeconomically disadvantaged and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders [14]. However, a higher proportion of women stop smoking during pregnancy than at any other time in their lives [15].…”

Objective: Australian rates of cigarette smoking are the lowest in the world. Young pregnant smokers are a sub population where smoking remains high. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of a multi-component intervention (Carbon Monoxide testing, motivational interviewing and a non-smoking buddy) to assist young pregnant women to cease smoking. Methods:Between October 2013 and June 2015, this multi-centred West Australian study recruited pregnant smokers aged 16 to 24, attending their first antenatal visit. Women (n=80) were randomised to the intervention and standard smoking cessation advice (n=43) or standard smoking cessation advice alone (n=37). At 36 weeks gestation and six weeks post birth, cessation rates were compared between groups using repeated measures survival analysis and reduction in smoking was examined using repeated measures linear regression on the number of cigarettes smoked. Results:The majority (89%) of women were unemployed or not in education, used illicit drugs (43%) and had experienced sexual abuse (23%). Involvement with child protection services was common (38%). Cigarette initiation occurred at a mean age of 13 years, median number of cigarettes smoked at baseline was 10 in both groups. Smoking cessation in intervention and controls were 17% vs. 14% at 36 weeks and 23% vs. 7% 6 weeks post birth. No significant differences in cessation or smoking reduction between groups were found individually or in the repeated events analysis. Conclusion:Given the low number of participants our findings cannot conclusively rule out this multi-component intervention. We believe it remains possible this intervention may prove effective in a larger group of participants and in another setting. Monitoring trends in this vulnerable, difficult to engage group of pregnant young women is important if we are to continue to devise effective interventions.

“…However, there are cohorts of pregnant women who continue to smoke, including the young [10], socioeconomically disadvantaged, users of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and Indigenous women [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Although evidence suggests these sub-groups are the least likely to quit, a higher proportion of women stop smoking in pregnancy than at any other time in their lives [18,21].…”

Objective: Young pregnant women are more likely than other pregnant women to smoke tobacco during pregnancy and post birth. This study explored young women's perceptions of the factors which impact their smoking cessation goals throughout pregnancy and post birth.Methods: This qualitative descriptive study was performed at two metropolitan obstetric hospitals in Western Australia. Forty three women aged 16 to 24 years old who reported smoking tobacco at their first antenatal visit were interviewed at each scheduled antenatal visit and every two weeks up to six weeks post birth. Interviews were subjected to thematic analysis.Results: A total of 244 interviews were performed; a mean of six interviews per woman (four in pregnancy and two post birth). Four overarching themes across three time periods were identified: the baby; the social bond of smoking; the chaotic nature of life; and access to social support. Pregnant women had a foetus-centric approach to cessation. Post birth those who sustained cessation held this belief for their newborn, whilst those who relapsed did not. The social bond of smoking highlighted smoking as the norm. Initially, women sought out non-smokers to support them. A partner's smoking status post birth appeared pivotal to remaining tobacco free. The chaotic nature of life, reflected through multiple stressful, negative events, challenged women in achieving their smoking cessation goals. Women who sought social support appeared to stay smoke free post birth. Conclusion:The longitudinal nature of this study provides new insight into complex issues faced by this marginalised group of young, pregnant, tobacco smokers throughout the journey of pregnancy and post birth. Findings enhance our understanding of the complex real life issues some young pregnant Australian smokers face and may be considered when women focused smoking cessation interventions are developed.
