title: Correlates of smoking before, during, and after pregnancy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To use recent, national data to examine correlates of smoking before, during, and after pregnancy; quitting smoking during pregnancy; and relapsing by 24 months postpartum.
  
  
  METHODS
  Multivariate logistic regression models used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort and accounted for relevant socio-demographic, clinical, and contextual covariates.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Although socio-demographic characteristics including education, income, race/ethnicity, and marital status were associated with smoking at all time points, contextual factors including alcohol consumption, breast-feeding, and living with other smokers were also strongly associated with smoking, quitting, and relapsing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Results of this study may facilitate the creation of more targeted interventions focusing on women at highest risk for smoking during this critical period.
