Abstract
Purpose of review: Systematic review to identify the most promising experimental approaches to modify prenatal alcohol and cigarette use published since 2019.
Recent findings: 20 studies met review criteria. Among the five approaches to prenatal alcohol use, a study comparing brief intervention or brief advice to treatment as usual in Argentina, and a practice change intervention to include evidence-based assessment and intervention of prenatal alcohol use in Australia were noteworthy. Five different strategies to modify cigarette use included diverse samples and settings. An innovative approach that was rigorously evaluated was conducted in Hong Kong where an intervention with brief advice, a nicotine sample, and active referral to smoking cessation service resulted in doubling the odds of biochemically validated abstinence from nicotine in expectant fathers when compared to an attention control condition. Prenatal alcohol and cigarette smoking are common in the US and pending effective intervention strategies that may be informed by international research.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
