1	Pregnancy and Alcohol Use: Evidence and Recommendations for Prenatal Care Bailey, Beth, Sokol, Robert J. 01 June 2008 (has links) Pregnancy alcohol consumption has been linked to poor birth outcomes and long-term developmental problems. Despite this, a significant number of women drink during pregnancy. Although most prenatal care providers are asking women about alcohol use, validated screening tools are infrequently employed. Research has demonstrated that currently available screening methods and intervention techniques are effective in identifying and reducing pregnancy drinking. Implementing universal screening and appropriate intervention for pregnancy alcohol use should be a priority for prenatal care providers, as these efforts could substantially improve pregnancy, birth, and longer term developmental outcomes for those affected. brief intervention fetal alcohol syndrome pregnancy drinking prenatal intervention prenatal screening T-ACE Pediatrics
2	Impact of a Group Prenatal Program for Pregnant Adolescents on Perceived Partner Support Smith, Peggy B., Buzi, Ruth S., Kozinetz, Claudia A., Peskin, Melissa, Wiemann, Constance M. 01 October 2016 (has links) This quasi-experimental study compared family formation and perceived partner support among pregnant adolescents in a prenatal care program. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group utilizing centering pregnancy (CP) prenatal care and case management, or to a comparison group receiving case management only. Partners were invited to participate in CP group sessions. This study included 173 predominantly minority pregnant adolescents ages 15–18 years who were enrolled in a prenatal program and followed one month postpartum. Family formation included living and relationship arrangements. Perceived partner support included six domains of perceived social provisions. Data were collected through participants’ self-reports using computer-assisted self-interviews. Changes in family formation and perceptions of partner support from baseline to postpartum did not differ between intervention and comparison groups. Male partners who attended at least one CP session were perceived as more supportive at both the beginning and end of the program than partners who did not attend any sessions. After combining groups, pregnant adolescents reported a significant shift in family formation and increased monetary support from partners from baseline to postpartum. Partner support is important for ensuring positive pregnancy outcomes. Additional strategies are needed to engage young fathers who do not readily provide support during pregnancy. adolescent pregnancy centering pregnancy family formation minority adolescents partner support prenatal intervention Biostatistics and Epidemiology Maternal Child Health Epidemiology Maternal and Child Health Women's Health
