Factors influencing the uptake and use of nicotine replacement therapy and e-cigarettes in pregnant women who smoke: a qualitative evidence synthesis (2020)
Journal Article
Campbell, K., Coleman-Haynes, T., Bowker, K., Cooper, S. E., Connelly, S., & Coleman, T. (2020). Factors influencing the uptake and use of nicotine replacement therapy and e-cigarettes in pregnant women who smoke: a qualitative evidence synthesis. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Article CD013629. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd013629

Background: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) delivers nicotine without the toxic chemicals present in tobacco smoke. It is an effective smoking cessation aid in non‐pregnant smokers, but there is less evidence of effectiveness in pregnancy. Systema...

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 16(8), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph16081358

Background: International guidelines recommend that following an early-pregnancy 'opt-out' referral for smoking cessation support, pregnant women who smoke should also be offered referrals at subsequent antenatal appointments ('opt-in' referrals). We... Read More about Feasibility and Acceptability of ‘Opt-In’ Referrals for Stop Smoking Support in Pregnancy.

Background: Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are increasingly used for reducing or stopping smoking, with some studies showing positive outcomes. However, little is known about views on ECs during pregnancy or postpartum and previous studies have nearly a...

Antenatal clinic and Stop Smoking Services staff views on "Opt-Out" referrals for smoking cessation in pregnancy: a framework analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Antenatal clinic and Stop Smoking Services staff views on "Opt-Out" referrals for smoking cessation in pregnancy: a framework analysis. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 13(10), Article 1004. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph13101004

Introduction: UK guidance recommends routine exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) screening for pregnant women and “opt-out” referrals to stop smoking services (SSS) of those with CO ≥ 4 ppm. We explored staff views on this referral pathway when implemented...

Understanding pregnant smokers’ adherence to nicotine replacement therapy during a quit attempt: a qualitative study (2015)
Journal Article

Comparison of cotinine levels in pregnant women while smoking and when using nicotine replacement therapy (2014)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) helps smokers quit smoking, but trials indicate that there is no evidence that it is effective during pregnancy. As metabolism increases during pregnancy, NRT may deliver insufficient nicotine to allevia...
