Albrecht, Susan A.; Higgins, Linda W.; Lebow, Howard
Adolescence, v35 n140 p709-16 Win 2000
Examines adolescents' knowledge of the detrimental effects of smoking on pregnant women and fetuses and its relationship to efforts to quit smoking with a sample of pregnant adolescents (N=71). A three-group randomized intervention design -- Teen FreshStart, Teen Freshstart with buddy, and usual care control -- was used. Results show that knowledge scores increased and participants who quit smoking had higher knowledge then those who did not quit. (MKA)
