First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a trauma-informed approach can improve smoking cessation support for pregnant women, especially those from racial and ethnic minority groups. Researchers will interview clinicians and pregnant women to understand their needs and experiences. The goal is to design a better smoking cessation program that addresses past trauma. The study is small and exploratory, aiming to gather ideas rather than test a treatment.
