Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS)

The MAAS is a 19 item questionnaire measuring maternal-fetal attachment. Each item has five answer choices scored from 1 low attachment to 5 high attachment such that the total score ranges from 19 to 95. The measure also includes two subscales: (1) Quality of Attachment has 10 items with a range of 10-50 and measures the quality of the mother's attachment to her fetus. (2) Time measures the time spent in attachment mode (or intensity of preoccupation) and consists of 8 items for a range of 8 to 40. (for clarity one item included in the total score is not included in either subscale.)

Time frame: 5 minutes

The Timeline Follow Back (TLFB):

This semi-structured interview utilizes a calendar to aid in participants' recall of smoking throughout pregnancy. The TLFB method is the preferred approach to measure substance use and has shown reliability when used for pregnant women in previous studies

Time frame: 10 minutes

Salivary cotinine

Cotinine is a stable nicotine metabolite produced by the liver. This is to test amount mother has smoked.

Time frame: 5 minutes
