Popis: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the group intervention for getting pregnant women to give up tobacco consumption, measured by means of carbon monoxide levels in air breathed out, compared with a minimum intervention. DESIGN: Randomised clinical trial. SETTING: Four primary care teams from Area 9 of IMSALUD-Madrid. PARTICIPANTS: All the pregnant women attending for consultation with the midwives of the four PC teams involved during the study period, who are smoking at least one cigarette a day when they find out they are pregnant and who want to take part in the study once they have been informed of it. INTERVENTION: The subjects included will be randomised into 2 intervention groups. The minimum intervention will consist of brief personal counselling (3 to 5 minutes) on why they should give up smoking, especially now they are pregnant. The group intervention will involve 3 sessions lasting approximately an hour and a half.
