I am confused. Do you mean "In Canada, approximately 20%-30% of pregnant
smokers use tobacco during pregnancy"?

WEBCAST
BEST PRACTICES IN SMOKING CESSATION INTERVENTIONS FOR PREGNANT AND
POSTPARTUM GIRLS AND WOMEN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011, 8:00 - 9:00 AM (PDT)
In Canada, approximately 20%-30% of pregnant women use tobacco during
pregnancy. This webcast will provide an overview of a recent project that
examined interventions designed to reduce or eliminate smoking during
pregnancy. These findings were used to develop women-centred resources and
practice recommendations for physicians and other health care providers who
work with pregnant and postpartum girls and women.
Using the recently launched Expecting to Quit website
(www.expectingtoquit.ca<http://www.expectingtoquit.ca/>), members of the
project team will share:
* Key findings from the evidence-based review of promising and best
practices
* Brief interventions and practice strategies for health care providers
* Newly developed resources (in English and French) available for download
and to share with patients
* Overview of links to on-line and community resources
This event is open to anyone with an interest in maternal health, women's
addictions issues, and the use of technology and social media in health
care.
Registration is required for this webcast event.
If you wish to attend, please provide your email at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/etqca by October 21st.
The instructions on how to log into the webcast will be sent to registrants
