BACKGROUND ON THE HEALTHY START SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAMAs a community based organization whose goal is to promote comprehensive prenatal and infant health services, the Healthy Start Coalition of Pinellas is dedicated to working to improve the health outcomes of mother and child. In line with these ideals, Healthy Start has instituted an outreach program similar to the one described in the Windsor study in which clients are provided the manual "A Pregnant Woman''s Self-Help Guide to Quit Smoking." Additionally, qualified personnel are hired to montecristodesartsbelicosolarga and montecristodesartsbelicosolarga provide brief counseling sessions with the clients and to encourage the maintenance of a nonsmoking status. This paper presents an analysis of the intervention put forth by the Healthy Start Coalition of Pinellas. The purpose of the Healthy Start smoking cessation program is to discourage maternal smoking during pregnancy, with montecristodesartsbelicosolarga the anticipation of promoting a positive birth experience. Results reported in this writing are based on outcome measures of women enrolled in the program from December 1997 to December 1999.
Easy access is not the only factor behind the increase in teen smoking. Many antismoking advocates, including President Clinton, blame cigarette manufacturers for targeting young people and using flashy advertisements to encourage them to smoke.(26) Because "[t]eenagers are typically less secure in their identities than most groups in the population, ... [t]hey are more subject to social pressure."(27) As such, they tend to experiment with different adult identities and are more attentive to advertising than most other groups.(28) Recent studies indicate that teenagers montecristodesartsbelicosolarga disproportionately buy the most heavily promoted cigarette brands.(29) Eighty-six percent of adolescents who smoke buy the three most heavily advertised brands, in contrast to adults, who are more likely to buy "generic" brands, which are less expensive and not well advertised.(30) Sadly, the cultural effects of cigarette advertising are not limited to teenagers. One study found that thirty percent of three year Olds and ninety-one percent of six year olds could identify Joe Camel as a symbol of smoking.(31) In a separate study, researchers asked children aged eight to thirteen to recall cigarette brands,(32) a staggering ninety percent recalled the Camel brand, while seventy-three percent remembered Marlboro.(33)
Despite the fact that the use of tobacco constitutes the most serious common medical problem, access to effective treatment remains limited for the majority of Brazilians. The difficulty in stopping smoking is highlighted by the fact that only 2.5% of all smokers actually succeed in remaining abstinent for a year. (2) One of the main problems for those attempting to stop smoking is the syndrome of withdrawal from nicotine.The association between abstinence from nicotine and the montecristodesartsbelicosolarga presence of depressive montecristodesartsbelicosolarga symptoms has been widely reported in the literature. (3-13) Studies showed that the association between smoking and depression is specific for nicotine-dependent montecristodesartsbelicosolarga individuals, being directly proportional to the degree of dependence on nicotine as evaluated by specific montecristodesartsbelicosolarga dependence tests. (6,8,10,14) Several studies have evaluated the effect of the administration of antidepressants on abstinence from nicotine. Initial trials with doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant, showed positive results in aiding abstinence from nicotine. (15) A form of therapy with sustained-release bupropion, a unicyclic antidepressant, also appeared to be effective in the treatment of abstinence from nicotine. (16)
