Brief summary

Trauma-informed approaches have been shown to support recovery from other substance use disorders and involve four key elements: (1) Realizing the prevalence of trauma and pathways to recovery, (2) Recognizing symptoms of trauma, (3) Responding by embedding knowledge of trauma into practices and policies and (4) Resisting re-traumatization (the 4Rs). In close partnership with Breathe California and a public safety-net clinic in San Francisco that serves primarily racial and ethnic minoritized (REM) pregnant women, the 4Rs along with the Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist and Arrange (the 5As) evidence-based intervention for tobacco cessation that is delivered by health care professionals and is a US Public Health Services clinical practice guideline for treating tobacco will be used to create and implement a smoking cessation intervention for pregnant women with experiences of trauma.

Detailed description

This study is currently enrolling for Aim 1 only. Study Objectives: Aim 1: Assess barriers to successful maternal tobacco cessation for women with trauma and identify targets for intervention through interviewing pregnant women with trauma and clinicians in the safety-net using the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW), a validated implementation science behavior change framework. Aim 2: Evaluate and adapt an evidence-based tobacco cessation intervention using the for pregnant women by incorporating trauma-informed approaches (the 4Rs) with the established 5As. Input will lead to the effective adaptation and creation of the final TRauma-Informed Care in Smoking cEssation for Pregnancy (RISE) Pregnancy intervention to be tested in Aim 3. Aim 3: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of the RISE Pregnancy intervention and protocol. OUTLINE: This study is currently enrolling for Aim 1 only. Aim 1: Pregnant women in the safety-net who smoke and have histories of trauma, and clinicians will be interviewed using the BCW to assess barriers to smoking cessation and inform design of a smoking cessation intervention which will be used to inform the design of a smoking cessation intervention (RISE Pregnancy) for evaluation in Aim 2.
