Health-related and material conditions of smoke-free women, incident smokers, and prepregnancy smokers during the postpartum period (latest interview) (n=1,676) in a study of low-income pregnant women, Philadelphia, 1999–2002

^aStatistically significant (p≤0.05) differences when compared with incident smokers

^bRespondents with CES-D scores ≥23 are generally classified as “probably depressed,” those with scores of 16–22 are classified as “possibly depressed,” and those with scores ≤15 are classified as “not depressed.”

^cItem was available only from the interview at nine to 12 months (n=1,142) and, thus, the denominators are n=651 for the smoke-free, n=76 for the incident, and n=415 for the prepregnancy groups.
