Alcohol consumption among pregnant smokers: effects of a smoking cessation intervention program.

PMCID: PMC1646828  PMID: 3541653

Abstract

This study describes patterns of alcohol consumption among pregnant women who participated in a randomized clinical trial of smoking cessation intervention. Data on alcohol habits were obtained prospectively prior to the 18th week of gestation and during the 8th month of pregnancy. Average alcohol intake for both groups was reduced primarily prior to registration for prenatal care. The smoking cessation intervention reduced smoking during pregnancy but had no effect on alcohol intake.
