New Report on Maternal Smoking Among Women Reporting Depression or Anxiety 
In a new report in Obstetrics and Gynecology, CDC authors used data from the 2009-2011 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System to describe smoking before and during pregnancy among women reporting depression or anxiety.

Main findings: 
  • Almost 17% of women giving birth reported having depression, anxiety, or both during the 3 months before pregnancy. 
  • Compared with those who did not report either condition, a higher percentage of women who reported depression or anxiety also smoked before pregnancy (47% compared with 23%) and during pregnancy (28% compared with 11%).
  • A lower percentage of women who smoked before pregnancy and reported depression or anxiety quit smoking by the last 3 months of pregnancy than those who did not report either condition (41% compared with 54%).
