A mixed-methods approach to gender-sensitive interventions to reduce concurrent alcohol and tobacco use among pregnant-involved Aboriginal girls/young women.
FY 2011-12
Summary
Maternal and infant health is a main indicator of a country's overall quality of life and health. In Canada, Aboriginal populations experience lower levels of maternal and infant health as compared with the general population. However, there is currently a lack of accurate data describing this difference. The aims of the study are 1. to describe the rates of tobacco and alcohol use during pregnancy by young Aboriginal girls and 2. to understand this behaviour from the perspectives of Aboriginal girls to help design effective programs to reduce alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy.
