First Breath is a program that helps pregnant women in Wisconsin quit smoking by integrating cessation strategies into existing prenatal care models, including public health services and private healthcare clinic appointments. Our goals are to:
1. Increase the number of pregnant women who quit smoking
2. Reduce smoking among pregnant women who are not able to quit
3. Improve the health of newborns
4. Decrease the rate of relapse among mothers after they deliver
Reason:
First Breath has become a national model, sharing strategies at conferences around the country and being featured by the National Partnership to Help Pregnant Smokers Quit.
