New! Expecting to Quit: Best practices in smoking cessation interventions for pregnant and postpartum girls and women

The British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health in Vancouver, BC has just launched a new website that contains their second edition of Expecting to Quit as well as resources for pregnant and postpartum women who want to reduce or quit smoking.

Their new report, aimed at for physicians and other health care providers who work with pregnant and postpartum girls and women, contains the most recent recommendations on best practices for reducing or eliminating smoking during pregnancy. The revised edition reviews research and intervention development in the years since the first edition was published in 2003. It reflects recent emerging interventions and better practices with a variety of groups of pregnant and postpartum women, with an added section on high-risk populations of pregnant smokers.
