Purpose and Funding The purpose of this program is to provide education and support for community health professionals who work with pregnant women, focusing specifically on pregnancy smoking and substance use, and on promoting breastfeeding Grant support for this program provided by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), the Tennessee (TN) Department of Health, West Virginia University (WVU), and East Tennessee State University (ETSU) 2

Program Target Counties West Virginia: Calhoun Clay Roane Wirt Tennessee: Campbell Cocke Hancock Johnson 3 http://www.arc.gov/research/mapsofappalachia.asp?map_id=55

Overview of Today s Session Prevalence and dangers of smoking and substance use in pregnancy Intervention approaches and how YOU can implement them: The 5 A s Breastfeeding prevalence and benefits Methods for promoting breastfeeding with pregnant women including a 5 A s Approach 4

Why This Training? Smoking, substance use, and failure to breastfeed have significant ramifications for the health of women and children In addition, all three are related and modifiable Health behaviors, whether negative (i.e. smoking and substance use) or positive (i.e. breastfeeding), can be addressed in similar ways in practice 5 http://www.owatc.edu/academics/programs/health-occupations/medical-assistant

Pregnancy Substance Use in TN Nationally, 20% of pregnant women consume alcohol; TN rate similar but higher in urban areas Estimates of illicit drug use during pregnancy vary widely (5-20%), and TN is comparable to national rates In TN, marijuana is the most commonly used 6 Percentage of Pregnant Women Who Smoke 40 30 20 10 0 Series 1 U.S. TN Appal TN illicit drug during pregnancy, followed by abuse of prescription narcotics

Who Uses Substances During Pregnancy? Pregnancy substance use tends to co-occur Pregnancy smoking, drinking, and drug use during pregnancy is not limited to certain types of women However, there are some racial and socioeconomic factors Further, women with fewer risk factors are more likely to falsely deny use 7 http://www.sevencounties.org/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=14666&cn=282

How Does Substance Use Affect the Fetus? Smoking during pregnancy has the following effects: Decreased placental function Decreased nutrient and oxygen transfer Decreased protein metabolism Carbon monoxide from smoking binds to fetal hemoglobin Nicotine causes vasoconstriction of placental blood vessels Result: abnormal gas exchange across the placenta, and decreased fetal oxygen level We also know that fetal neuroendocrine development is 8 negatively impacted http://colekcolek.com/2012/03/28/miracle-of-life-in-the-womb

How Does Substance Use Affect the Fetus? Alcohol consumption during pregnancy also leads to hypoxia and increased oxidative stress as a result of various ethanol metabolites that cross the placenta The consequence is impaired fetal growth and abnormal brain cell development The mechanisms by which other drugs impact the developing fetus are less well understood, and animal studies are ongoing It is suspected that the following result from pregnancy drug use: Decreased oxygen levels/hypoxia affects all systems Immature synaptic maturation Change in quality/quantity of neurotransmitter production Impaired endocrine system 9 development http://colekcolek.com/2012/03/28/miracle-of-life-in-the-womb

Effects of Pregnancy Illicit Drug Use Babies born to women who use drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine are significantly more likely to be preterm and low birth weight These babies are also at risk for NAS Research on the long term effects of these substances on child health and development are mixed Appears to be an increased likelihood of health problems and delayed growth in childhood Some evidence of longer term effects on behavior problems and substance use 12 http://www.wardelab.com/22-1.html

Effects of Pregnancy Marijuana Use Prenatal marijuana exposure does not appear to carry the same risks as exposure to harder illicit drugs No consistent evidence for long term health or growth effects Some evidence that prenatal marijuana exposure increases the risk for delays in specific aspects of cognitive development, attention problems, and later 13 substance use problems http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?id=3518

Effects of Pregnancy Prescription Drug Abuse Recent increasing abuse of prescription drugs in pregnancy Effects have not been extensively studied due to recent emergence However, use/abuse of both narcotics and benzodiazepines is linked to: increased risk http://www.testcountry.org/3-common- of pregnancy complications, low birth prescription-drugs-that-can-cause-a- positive-drug-test-for-amphetamines.htm weight, preterm delivery, and NAS Longer term effects on child health and development are unknown, but appear to be similar to illicit drugs 14

Effects of Pregnancy Alcohol Use Most people are familiar with FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) FAS includes facial dysmorphology, growth restriction, and cognitive impairment However, even drinking at much lower levels (5 drinks per week) causes low birth weight, preterm delivery, delayed growth, and long term cognitive, attention, and behavior problems in exposed children 15 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fetal_alcohol_syndrome

Effects of Pregnancy Tobacco Use When pregnancy substance use is discussed, tobacco does not always come immediately to mind However, tobacco is the most commonly used substance during pregnancy Consequently, it also has the greatest potential for negative effects given its substantially greater known effects and higher rate of use 16 http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?id=3518

Effects of Prenatal Tobacco Exposure Intrauterine growth restriction/low birth weight (8 14 oz) Spontaneous abortion/miscarriage/preterm delivery Decreased growth deficits and health problems into childhood An inch or more shorter than peers at age 7 Increased risk for SIDS Substantially increased rates of asthma, allergies, respiratory and ear infections 17 http://www.inmagine.com/searchterms/oxygen_mask-2.html

Effects of Prenatal Tobacco Exposure Decrease in overall IQ and language delays Attention problems in early and middle childhood Elevated levels of depression and anxiety disorders Behavior problems and encounters with juvenile authorities Adolescent and adult smoking and substance use, and increased likelihood of addiction 18 http://www.jurosmedical.com/blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/08/anxious-child.jpg http://blogs.babble.com/strollerderby/2010/09 /14/10-ways-to-squash-sibling-rivalry http://blogs.babble.com/strollerderby/2010/ 09/14/10-ways-to-squash-sibling-rivalry

A Few Final Notes About Prenatal Exposures 19 Amount and timing of exposure are important No real threshold for many substances Effects with as few as 2 cigarettes per day, however, greatest effects seen at a half a pack/day or more Exposure even a couple of times to meth and heroin can have fetal effects, but effects greater with regular exposure Many exposures, early pregnancy exposure worst (alcohol); However, for others (tobacco, opiates) late exposure more detrimental, especially effects on growth and health in particular So, quitting most substance use, or even cutting down by 3 rd trimester may lead to significant health benefits

A Few Final Notes About Smoked Drugs Second Hand Smoke is smoke that smokers breathe out and the smoke that comes a burning drug Third Hand Smoke is smoke contamination that remains in the air and on surfaces after drug is extinguished 20 BOTH of these are harmful to the developing fetus and developing child causing effects much like what are seen due to primary prenatal exposure http://www.etsu.edu/tips

Smoking vs Other Substance Use So, what is the relative importance that should be placed on smoking vs other substance use in prenatal care? Other drug and alcohol use is often the priority However, the effect of pregnancy smoking on birth weight and newborn health is double the impact of any other substance So, pregnant women should be encouraged to eliminate all substance use, INCLUDING the use of tobacco 21 http://www.smokersworld.info/fewercigarettes-in-a-pack-and-the-same-price http://www.atvn.org/news/2011/06/substance-abuse-among-teens

A Few Final Notes About Smoke Exposure Substance Use Group Differences on Birth Weight Birth Weight Decrease Effect of marijuana use* Effect of hard illicit drug use Effect of cigarette smoking Effect of both hard illicit drug and cigarette use - 1gm/-oz - 163 gm/5.7oz -317 gm/11.2oz -352 gm/12.4oz N=265 newborns with meconium drug testing at delivery Effect for birth weight controlled for significant confounders (education, preeclampsia, race): F=4.55, p=.004 * This is the effect beyond the effect of already smoking cigarettes, as most 22 marijuana smokers in this sample also smoked cigarettes

23 Final Issues Related to Quitting Does quitting smoking during pregnancy cause too much stress for the fetus? NO, the harm of continuing to smoke FAR OUTWEIGHS any small risk associated with the potential stress from quitting According to ACOG and AAP, a woman should NEVER be told not to quit smoking during pregnancy Quitting casual use of other drugs, including alcohol, should also be recommended and women can do this on their own However, for some substances (especially opiates), or for heavy abuse of any substance, quitting should be recommended but also medically supervised

Does Intervention Work? A woman is more likely to quit smoking/using drugs during pregnancy than at any other time in her life Even simple provider efforts have produced quit rates for all types of drug use of up to 10% Use of a Smoking Quit Line has also produced quit rates of 10%+ 5 A s quit rates are up to 20% for smoking and 40% or more for alcohol and illicit drugs Quitting smoking in pregnancy leads to improved birth outcomes, including a 25% reduction preterm delivery Even cutting down leads to a 20% reduction in preterm delivery and a 44% reduction in NICU admissions Efforts must be regular and consistent to have a significant impact 24 http://www.essence.com/2010/05/30/c ommentary-diaper-duty

25 Intervention: What You Can Do

5As Approach to Cessation* A brief 5-step behavioral intervention (5-15 minutes) designed for smoking cessation Adapted for pregnant women by ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) * Will be presenting a model for smoking intervention here, but the general approach applies to any pregnancy substance use, and as shown later, breastfeeding promotion [Q-relative addiction?] 26 http://sentarainfo.com/today/2011/12/on-the-road-again-spreading-health-andholiday-cheer

The 5As 1. ASK about tobacco/drug use 2. ADVISE to quit 3. ASSESS willingness to make a quit attempt 4. ASSIST in quit attempt 27 5. ARRANGE follow-up

I need you to know that quitting is one of the most important things you can do to protect your baby and improve your own health. Personalized: Impact of smoking on the baby, the family, and the patient s well being Fact Sheets: http://www.otispregnancy.org/otis-factsheets-s13037#5 31 http://www.epa.gov/o3healthtraining/tools.html

ASSESS (1 Minute) Assess the patient s willingness to quit in the next 30 days ASK: How WILLING are you to quit smoking in the next 30 days? I---------I----------I----------I----------I---------I----------I----------I---------I----------I----------I 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Not At All Moderately Extremely Willing Willing Willing 32 ASK: What would it take to make you more willing to quit, to get you to move from your score to a score 3 points higher?

ASSESS (1 Minute) If a patient responds that she would like to try to quit within the next 30 days, move on to the ASSIST step If the patient does not want to try to quit, try to increase her motivation via education and personalizing the issue 33

ASSIST (3+ Minutes) Initial Considerations Addiction has both PHYSICAL & BEHAVIORAL components Both factors must be addressed for successful cessation 34 Recognize your own biases regarding smoking during pregnancy http://smoking-quit.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/woman-tapedmouth-quit-smoking.jpg

ASSIST: Personalize Ask open-ended questions (Why? When?): Determine the role that smoking plays in her life Discuss her motivations for quitting or continuing Talk about her past attempts to quit Talk about the health benefits for her and her child and how these are important to her 35 Talk about the cost savings from not buying cigarettes and other uses for that money http://www.careercurve.com/blog/2010/09

ASSIST: Addressing Difficult Questions You may hear: I smoked with my first child and s/he was OK! My mom smoked with me and I turned out OK! How to handle this: Circumstances that vary between pregnancies may significantly impact the degree to which the fetus will be harmed by smoking: Overall amount of primary & secondary smoke exposure Stress Nutrition Increased age during pregnancy Environmental factors Overall health 41

ASSIST: Pharmacologic Intervention Behavioral intervention is the firstline treatment for pregnant women Pharmacotherapy can be considered for heavy smokers unable to quit via behavioral interventions alone; or for women dependent on opioids Very limited data on the safety or efficacy of pharmacologic treatments in pregnant women; nicotine gum if needed for smokers (NO nasal sprays; patches not first choice); careful monitoring of methadone for substance users 42

ARRANGE (1+ MINUTE) Follow-up to monitor progress Ask about concerns or difficulties Express a willingness to help http://news.antiwar.com/2012/07/08/us-cellphone-companies-see-surveillance-requests-soar/ Refer to the Smoking Quit Line, or other local programs 43

You want to talk to her about breastfeeding, which you noticed in her chart, she did not breastfeed her first baby. How do you discuss this with her? 63

Pregnancy, Childbirth, & Postpartum Preparation Talking Points Healthy pregnancy behaviors Supportive people Deep breathing, relaxation, stress reduction Preparation for labor & delivery, cesarean if necessary Connection with baby Breastfeeding Healthy postpartum behaviors rrmc.org 64

Talking Points Specific Questions 1. Nutritionally speaking, do babies need anything other than breast milk (vitamins and medication excluded) during the first 6 months of life? 2. Can a woman who smokes breastfeed? 3. Can a woman who occasionally uses drugs breastfeed? 4. Can a woman taking an antibiotic breastfeed? 5. Should women who are concerned about involving the father formula feed instead? 6. Can using formula reduce milk supply? 65

Talking Points Specific Questions 7. Should formula be used if the baby doesn t seem to be gaining enough weight? 8. Should formula be used at the end of a feeding if the baby didn t seem to get enough? 9. Who is more likely to be OVER fed formula fed or breast fed babies? 10. If a woman develops a breast infection should she stop breastfeeding on that side? 11. What should you advise a woman complaining of low milk supply? 12. What should you advise a woman complaining of sore nipples? 66

Overall Summary Smoking, substance use, and not breastfeeding have significant ramifications for the health of women and children In addition, all three are related and MODIFIABLE use the 5 A s to improve health 67 coconino.az.gov http://www.owatc.edu/academics/programs/health-occupations/medical-assistant
