The study assesses the effectiveness of a smoking cessation guideline relevant to the public maternity care settings with an accompanying implementation program throughout Queensland maternity hospitals.
Despite high level evidence proving the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs, few Australian hospitals have adopted a systematic approach to assist pregnant women to stop smoking. This smoking intervention program resulted in a decrease of women continuing smoking during pregnancy.
In addition, more women reported to be satisfied with advice and the way information on smoking was presented.
