Randomized clinical trials
have used various approaches for smoking intervention. Harm reduction may
target the significant other to reduce exposure for the mother/child. Or, it
may target the mother to reduce exposure of the fetus/infant. Many provide
prenatal smoking cessation assistance by means of self-help manuals, mailed
interventions, and/or counseling. More recent studies have examined relapse
prevention interventions provided in conjunction with the cessation
intervention before delivery or following delivery, particularly with
telephone counseling.
