Dads' Substance Use Hurts Expectant Moms' Efforts to Quit
Date:3/28/2008

li>

The researchers said their findings highlight the need for more public health education and intervention.

"Women who are pregnant want the best for their baby and typically reduce their drinking and smoking. But after birth, part of their motivation to limit alcohol use and quit using cigarettes and marijuana is taken away. If their partner is still smoking, for example, they might think, 'Boy, that cigarette smells good,'" Bailey said.

"There are two ways we need to reach parents," Hill said in a prepared statement. "Pregnancy health-care providers need to talk to both fathers and mothers about their smoking, drinking and marijuana use. Pregnancy seems like such a great public health opportunity to reach parents, but no one is talking to dads, and this study shows that they are not changing their substance use behavior. What dads do matters, and we want them to reduce their substance use."
