SUMMARY

This article was about what kind of women smoke during pregnancy. This study identified risk groups with an above-average prevalence of smoking during pregnancy.

This article went over each and every group of women that are more likely to smoke during pregnancy. It also goes over the meaning of the study- Knowing about which women are more likely to smoke, will help prevent it.

REFLECTION

Reflecting back on what groups of women are more likely to smoke are: Smoking couples (women who have husbands that smoke), young women that don’t understand how smoking can effect an unborn baby, single women of lower socioeconomic status, women with psychosocial factors(marital status and number of children), behavioral factors(weather or not a smoker stops smoking after learning of her pregnancy depends on the extent of her smoking habit), material/structural factors, and biological factors(higher smoking percentages is typically in the Caucasian population, as well as younger women are more likely to smoke during pregnancy). Also women who don’t intend to get pregnant, so they don’t know their pregnant for a while, and they smoke during that time.
