Progesterone & Postpartum Relapse to Smoking
Pregnant women will be recruited at gestational weeks 33-36 who have quit smoking during
pregnancy and are motivated to maintain abstinence after delivery. At the time of delivery,
women will be randomly assigned to receive 4 weeks of active or placebo exogenous
progesterone starting on the 4th day postpartum. Participants will be in contact with study
staff either by phone or clinic visits until 12 weeks postpartum to collect data on smoking
status and protocol compliance, measure serum progesterone levels and receive behavioral
counseling.
