Summary

Choices Plus, a randomized controlled study, will determine the efficacy of the Project CHOICES intervention plus a referral to an evidence-based smoking cessation program in reducing the risk of alcohol- and tobacco-exposed pregnancies.

Detailed description

This randomized controlled study will examine the effect of the ChoicesPlus intervention compared to Treatment as Usual (TAU) in: reducing alcohol use below established risk levels; increasing consistent use of effective contraception; increasing engagement in smoking cessation treatment and increasing smoking cessation. In addition, our examination of the incremental costs of the ChoicesPlus intervention (e.g., staff time, materials, administrative services, total medical charges pre- and post-intervention) will provide a basis for future cost/benefit analyses that will inform policymakers and healthcare organizations of the potential benefits of implementing ChoicesPlus. Results from this study will inform and advance future efforts in the service of promoting healthy prenatal behavior and reducing the prevalence of alcohol and tobacco-exposed pregnancies.
