Summary
This study tests whether combining motivational interviewing with digital game assignments can prevent pregnant women who quit smoking from relapsing after giving birth. Seventy-two women in their second trimester who stopped smoking early in pregnancy will receive either the special counseling plus games or standard prenatal advice. Researchers will check if they stay smoke-free three months after delivery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, low-cost way to help new mothers avoid returning to smoking after giving birth.
