OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the prevalence and effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions for women of childbearing age in public health clinics. METHODS: Smokers in prenatal, family planning, and well-child services in 10 public health clinics (n = 1021) were interviewed 5 to 8 weeks after a medical visit to assess their exposure to smoking cessation interventions and smoking cessation outcomes. RESULTS: Depending on clinic service and intervention component (poster, video segment, provider advice, booklet), 16% to 63% of women reported exposure to an intervention component during their visit. Women in prenatal services received more interventions and had better outcomes than those in the other services. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to more interventions increased readiness and motivation to quit and the number of actions taken toward quitting.
