The current study examined reasons pregnant women in Rhode Island use non-cigarette nicotine/tobacco products during and prior to pregnancy.
Of the 124 pregnant women in Rhode Island enrolled in the study, 91% self-reported ever using e- cigarettes, hookah or cigars, and reasons for their use. We compared responses between participants who used these products during pregnancy (prenatal) and those who used prior to pregnancy (lifetime) for each product separately.
Participants reported using e-cigarettes as a cessation aid, hookah for entertainment, and cigars as a vehicle for marijuana consumption as primary reasons for use. There were no significant differences in reasons for using hookah or cigars between prenatal and lifetime users, but prenatal e-cigarette users were more likely to report affordability as a reason for use compared to lifetime e-cigarette users.
Differential reasons for use by tobacco product may have implications for targeted interventions in pregnant people in Rhode Island.
本研究调查了罗德岛州的孕妇在怀孕中和怀孕前使用非香烟尼古丁/烟草制品的原因。
在罗德岛州参加这项研究的 124 名孕妇中,91%的人自我报告曾使用过电子烟、水烟或雪茄,并报告了使用这些产品的原因。我们比较了在怀孕期间(产前)使用这些产品的参与者和在怀孕前(终生)使用这些产品的参与者对每种产品的使用原因的反应。
参与者报告使用电子烟作为戒烟辅助工具,使用水烟作为娱乐工具,使用雪茄作为大麻消费的工具,是使用这些产品的主要原因。产前和终生使用水烟或雪茄的人在使用这些产品的原因方面没有显著差异,但与终生使用电子烟的人相比,产前使用电子烟的人更有可能将价格实惠作为使用的原因。
不同烟草制品使用原因的差异可能对罗德岛州孕妇的有针对性干预措施产生影响。
