The Colorado QuitLine Pregnancy/postpartum program (PPP) is a telephone based individual- level treatment approach designed to improve smoking cessation effectiveness for pregnant and postpartum women. The overall goal of the PPP was to provide consistent and long-term interaction with smoking women during pregnancy and postpartum. Published evidence suggests that the longer callers participate in cessation programs, the more success they have in their quit efforts. Results: The results of this pilot program indicate that 55% of the PPP group were tobacco free at the end of their pregnancy. Of this group, 25% relapsed by 7 months following delivery leaving 46% of total PPP participants tobacco free at seven months postpartum (30-day abstinence). This compares favorably to reported relapse rates as high as 70% at 7 months postpartum. Conclusions: Given that PPP participants’ demographic characteristics (Table 1) put them at higher risk for smoking, i.e., they were younger, often single, less educated, and mostly Medicaid beneficiaries, the program had encouraging results. Further study with a larger population will be required to validate the findings of this pilot study. Methods The program incorporates evidence- based practices including providing at least 5 calls during pregnancy and at least 4 calls postpartum with a dedicated coach and providing incentives to participants vs. 5 total calls with no incentives for the standard quitline program. For this pilot study, descriptive data from Colorado QuitLine callers enrolled between July 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011 were analyzed. Results Ninety-nine women enrolled in the study, on average during the sixth month of pregnancy (range, 6 days to 8.2 months before due date). The survey response rate was 32.3%, with an average follow-up time of 7.7 months after due date. Among all enrollees, one in six completed a total of ten coaching calls (Table 2); respondents rated the importance of coaching a mean 5.6 on a 1-7 scale; other measures of coaches and coaching averaged in the top fifth of the scale range (Table 2). More than half (54.8%) of respondents retrospectively self- reported being tobacco free at the end of pregnancy, while one-fourth (23.5%) of those who quit relapsed by seven months postpartum . At seven months postpartum, 46.9% of total participants reported 30-day abstinence from tobacco use. The current program incorporated a number of evidence-based practices in a pregnancy/postpartum telephone- based pilot program to assess the effectiveness on 30-day point- prevalence abstinence rates at 7 months post-delivery. The results of the pilot program were encouraging on two fronts: the results showed that almost half of pregnant participants (46.1%) were tobacco free at seven months postpartum (30-day abstinence) compared with general, non-pregnant quitline participants (28.8%) and that 55.2% reported being tobacco free at the end of pregnancy with only 25% of participants relapsing by seven months postpartum.

The Colorado QuitLine Pregnancy/postpartum program (PPP) is a telephone based individual-level treatment approach designed to improve smoking cessation effectiveness for pregnant and postpartum women. The overall goal of the PPP was to provide consistent and long-term interaction with smoking women during pregnancy and postpartum. Published evidence suggests that the longer callers participate in cessation programs, the more success they have in their quit efforts. Results: The results of this pilot program indicate that 55% of the PPP group were tobacco free at the end of their pregnancy. Of this group, 25% relapsed by 7 months following delivery leaving 46% of total PPP participants tobacco free at seven months postpartum (30-day abstinence). This compares favorably to reported relapse rates as high as 70% at 7 months postpartum. Conclusions: Given that PPP participants’ demographic characteristics (Table 1) put them at higher risk for smoking, i.e., they were younger, often single, less educated, and mostly Medicaid beneficiaries, the program had encouraging results. Further study with a larger population will be required to validate the findings of this pilot study.

Methods

The program incorporates evidence-based practices including providing at least 5 calls during pregnancy and at least 4 calls postpartum with a dedicated coach and providing incentives to participants vs. 5 total calls with no incentives for the standard quitline program. For this pilot study, descriptive data from Colorado QuitLine callers enrolled between July 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011 were analyzed. There were a total of 1,644 study participants, including 1,545 men and women from the general QuitLine and 99 pregnancy and postpartum participants enrolled in the PPP.

Results

Ninety-nine women enrolled in the study, on average during the sixth month of pregnancy (range, 6 days to 8.2 months before due date). The survey response rate was 32.3%, with an average follow-up time of 7.7 months after due date.

Among all enrollees, one in six completed a total of ten coaching calls (Table 2); respondents rated the importance of coaching a mean 5.6 on a 1-7 scale; other measures of coaches and coaching averaged in the top fifth of the scale range (Table 2).

More than half (54.8%) of respondents retrospectively self-reported being tobacco free at the end of pregnancy, while one-fourth (23.5%) of those who quit relapsed by seven months postpartum . At seven months postpartum, 46.9% of total participants reported 30-day abstinence from tobacco use.

The current program incorporated a number of evidence-based practices in a pregnancy/postpartum telephone-based pilot program to assess the effectiveness on 30-day point-prevalence abstinence rates at 7 months post-delivery. The results of the pilot program were encouraging on two fronts: the results showed that almost half of pregnant participants (46.1%) were tobacco free at seven months postpartum (30-day abstinence) compared with general, non-pregnant quitline participants (28.8%) and that 55.2% reported being tobacco free at the end of pregnancy with only 25% of participants relapsing by seven months postpartum. Previous reports show that the relapse rates for pregnant women within 6 months range from 50% to 70%.
