Seminar Summary:
Despite quitting smoking in pregnancy, the majority of people who manage to quit relapse to smoking postpartum, with most relapse occurring in the first six months after a baby is born. BabyBreatheTM is a complex intervention offering targeted one-to-one behavioural support in the community, delivered either face-to-face or remotely, alongside digital, remote and pharmacological support in the postpartum period. In this presentation Professor Notley will describe the background and intervention development, before reporting emergent findings from the multi-centre randomised controlled trial to compare the BabyBreatheTM intervention with usual care. Discussion on recruitment and follow up data collection strategies, their relative effectiveness, and initial outcomes is welcomed, as well as opportunities for reflection on the approach within the Australian context.
