Sponsored by University of Nottingham · Observational
This study is largely a qualitative study with a small survey component. The aim of the survey would be to gain a quantitative perspective of how women use NRT after this has been prescribed by stop smoking services (SSS). The aim of the qualitative study would be to enhance knowledge of pregnant smoker's views and attitudes about their experiences of using NRT and in particular to understand why pregnant women who start using NRT often discontinue this early or do not use the medication as it is prescribed. This information is important for a number of reasons; firstly it will help health professionals and researchers gain an in depth understanding about how women experience using NRT, which may be used to help devise strategies for encouraging better adherence and which could be used in future clinical trials to gain a clearer understanding as to whether or not NRT is effective in pregnancy.
University of Nottingham is the lead sponsor of 455 studies on the registry; 77 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Participants will be identified through two identification sites; New Leaf Stop Smoking Services in Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City. The study will consist of a short survey focussing on how NRT is used during pregnancy. As well as providing information the survey responses will also be able to distinguish who is eligible to participate in qualitative telephone interviews. A subsection of these women will be asked to participate in an interview. The survey and interviews will be conducted as close as possible after participants have had an appointment with a smoking cessation advisor and, have given consent for the researcher to contact them, this is likely to be within a two week period.
