Study Summary

This trial is testing whether or not smoking cessation during pregnancy or lactation prevents rapid infant adiposity gain. 40 smoking pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either a multicomponent intervention group or an education-only control group. The multicomponent intervention group will receive education and counseling, monitoring and feedback, contingent financial incentives, and family support. If the woman successfully quits smoking, she will be randomized into the continuous multicomponent intervention group in lactation or the education-only control group. The key outcomes include maternal smoking abstinence confirmed by urine-cotinine and infant gain in weight-for-length z-score.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking pregnant women aged 18-39, who smoke cigarettes, are less than 20 weeks pregnant with a single baby, and have low income or education. They must live in Erie or Niagara County and be willing to quit smoking using behavioral interventions and provide samples to confirm their smoking status. Women with major chronic diseases, blood clotting disorders, depression or other mental health conditions that could interfere with the study are not eligible.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if quitting smoking during pregnancy or lactation can prevent rapid weight gain in infants. It involves two phases: first comparing a multicomponent intervention (education, counseling, monitoring/feedback, financial incentives) against an education-only control during pregnancy; then among those who quit successfully by end of pregnancy further randomization into continuous intervention or control during lactation.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on behavioral interventions rather than medications there may not be direct side effects like those seen with drugs. However participants might experience stress or discomfort related to attempting to change behavior such as quitting smoking.
