What the study is about

Trauma-informed approaches have been shown to support recovery from other substance use disorders and involve four key elements: (1) Realizing the prevalence of trauma and pathways to recovery, (2) Recognizing symptoms of trauma, (3) Responding by embedding knowledge of trauma into practices and policies and (4) Resisting re-traumatization (the 4Rs). In close partnership with Breathe California and a public safety-net clinic in San Francisco that serves primarily racial and ethnic minoritized (REM) pregnant women, the 4Rs along with the Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist and Arrange (the 5As) evidence-based intervention for tobacco cessation that is delivered by health care professionals and is a US Public Health Services clinical practice guideline for treating tobacco will be used to create and implement a smoking cessation intervention for pregnant women with experiences of trauma.
