Best Practices for Smoking Cessation in Pregnancy: Do Obstetrician/Gynecologists Use Them in Practice?

Abstract

Obstetrician/gynecologists face many competing demands for their time and energy, yet 62% believed smoking cessation advice would be of significant value. Physicians with higher levels of efficacy expectations reported significantly greater use of the 5 As. Future research should explore ways to facilitate obstetrician/gynecologists' use of the 5As method.
