Preventing Postpartum Smoking Relapse with Breastfeeding Promotion

This study is looking for pregnant women who have quit smoking during their pregnancy to help understand if promoting breastfeeding can prevent them from starting to smoke again after their baby is born. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive a special program to encourage breastfeeding, including education, counseling, support, and financial rewards. The other group will receive general information about caring for a baby. Researchers will compare how many women in each group start smoking again 12 months after giving birth. This study aims to enroll 280 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial involving 280 pregnant women who have quit smoking. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a breastfeeding promotion group or a general infant care group.
What's involved
Participants will receive interventions from late pregnancy to 12 months postpartum. This includes education, counseling, and support related to breastfeeding or general infant care.
Compensation
The intervention group will receive breastfeeding-contingent financial incentives, and the control group will receive monetary earnings similar to the intervention group.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months postpartum to measure smoking relapse and other outcomes.
