Authors N N includes Type of Treatment Classification Brief summary of findings Biochemical Validation
Holbrook et al. (2011) (Holbrook & Kaltenbach, 2011) 91 Methadone maintained pregnant (N=44) and non-pregnant (N=47) cigarette smokers 6 week group smoking cessation intervention, training in coping skills for smoking cessation Prospective The number of self reported daily cigarettes decreased by 49% for pregnant patients and 32% for nonpregnant patients at 3-month followup Not done
Haug et al. (2004) (Haug et al., 2004) 63 Methadone maintained pregnant cigarette smokers (≤26 weeks gestational age) 10 week intervention in two groups:
1.Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) (N=30)
2.Standard care (N=33)
Randomized controlled trial No difference in smoking between the two groups.
1.MET condition more likely to have progressed on the stage continuum than were SC women (35% vs. 15%)
2.SC group was more likely to have regressed on the stage continuum than were the MET participants (30% vs. 4%)
Breath carbon monoxide, urine cotinine
Tuten et al. (2012) (Tuten et al., 2012) 102 Methadone maintained pregnant cigarette smokers (mean gestational age at entry = 16.6 weeks) 12 week outpatient intervention in three groups:
1.Contingent behavioral incentive (N=42)
2.Noncontingent behavioral incentive (N=28)
3.Treatment as usual (N=32)
Randomized controlled trial 1.Contingent behavioral incentive group: 48% met a target of 75% reduction in smoking, 31% were abstinent by week 12
2.Non-contingent behavior intervention group: 0% achieved 75% reduction and 0% achieved abstinence
3.Treatment as usual group: 2% achieved a 75% reduction, 0% achieved abstinence
Breath carbon monoxide, urine cotinine
