Bull, Leona; Burke, Ronan; Walsh, Siobhan; Whitehead, Emma
Early Child Development and Care, v173 n2-3 p349-56 Jun 2003
Examined attitudes toward smoking, current smoking behavior, mental health difficulties, and nicotine addiction among 38 pregnant women, mothers of young children, and their partners in East Surrey, England. Found that 11 female respondents presented symptoms of depression, anxiety, or social dysfunction. Smokers did not differ from ex-smokers or non-smokers in terms of mental health difficulties. Smokers' mental health screening scores were related to level of nicotine dependence. (Author/KB)
