Smoking and Pregnancy resource available free
June 9, 2009The Rural Health Education Foundation has added to its website Quit Together, a 30 second animated video that can be used in education and intervention with pregnant women and their families or in training sessions with health professionals. It graphically illustrates the effects of smoking in pregnancy and encourages mothers to quit.
This animation is included in the Foundation’s DVD Smoking and Pregnancy: Womb to Breathe which explores the health impact of smoking on pregnant women, their unborn child, and young children. It also includes filmed case studies. It canvasses the range of effective smoking cessation interventions, including the use of Lifescript tools, and considers how and when such interventions are best delivered.
* Limited DVD copies of this hour-long program, produced in April 2008, are now available free, courtesy of generous funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
