Abstract
Despite serious health consequences from high rates of smoking among perinatal women, smoking cessation and/or nicotine treatment practices have yet to be broadly adopted into perinatal substance abuse treatment settings. This correlational cross-sectional survey examined tobacco-related policies, practices, knowledge, and attitudes of 31 directors of perinatal residential substance abuse treatment programs in California. We found that the directors' programs had limited on-site adoption of evidence-based practices for smoking cessation, and that directors had gaps in their knowledge of perinatal tobacco effects. Implications for tobacco policy initiatives in perinatal substance abuse treatment are discussed.
