Changes in alcohol consumption from before pregnancy recognition to during pregnancy
| n | Quit %, (95% CI) | Reduced % (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| By level of alcohol use before pregnancy recognition | |||
| Any alcohol | 534 | 35% (31%, 39%) | 20% (17%, 23%) |
| Any binge, any blackout, or any eyeopener | 229 | 25%a (19%, 31%) | 46% (40%, 53%) |
| By termination characteristics, among participants reporting any alcohol before pregnancy recognitionb | |||
| Had a first trimester termination | 251 | 21% (16%, 26%) | 19% (14%, 24%) |
| Had a termination after the first trimester | 197 | 37% (30%, 44%) | 24% (18%, 30%) |
| Denied termination and still pregnant at baseline | 86 | 71%c (60%, 80%) | 14% (7%, 23%) |
Of those reporting any drinking before pregnancy recognition, odds of having quit were lower (OR=0.35, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.55) among women reporting any binge, any blackout, or any eyeopener versus non-binge, non-blackout, non-eyeopener drinking before pregnancy recognition, adjusting for age, race, employment, poverty, marital status, trimester of termination seeking, education, and pregnant.
fewer women having a termination after the first trimester versus having a termination in the first trimester consumed alcohol before pregnancy recognition
Odds of having quit or reduced were higher (OR=3.98, 95% CI: 2.04, 7.74) among women still pregnant versus not still pregnant at baseline, adjusting for age, race, employment, poverty, marital status, trimester of termination seeking, and education.
