Summary

This develops a novel behavioral tobacco cessation program for pregnant smokers in San Bernardino County.

Official Title

Integrating CHWs Into Prenatal Care for Maternal Smoking Cessation: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Details

This study seeks to address the disparities in the maternal smoking cessation outcomes of previous research by developing an innovative maternal tobacco cessation program that expands the outreach by integrating home visits by community health workers (CHW) into the prenatal healthcare model. The overall aim is to conduct a pilot randomized control trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a Healthcare Provider-Community Health Worker (HCP-CHW) intervention model that expands outreach by adding eight home visits by CHWs to provide tobacco cessation support services before and after the quit date.
