Juggling the responsibilities of life and parentho

Juggling the responsibilities of life and parenthood often means less time to take care of yourself. Many mothers/birthing people (MBP) don't attend their own doctor's appointments, but almost ALL attend their child's doctor's appointments.

Smoking/vaping status is one of the screening questions asked during both IMPLICIT Interconception Care (ICC) and 4th Trimester (4TM) models of care. Many times, MBPs who smoke or vape, see quitting during pregnancy as a time limited response and will start again after having the baby.

IMPLICIT ICC screens mothers/birthing people at their child's Well Child Visits (WCV) from ages 0-24 months and offers the opportunity to meet MBPs where they are at, providing support in maintaining or starting their smoking/vaping cessation.

IMPLICIT data showed that an overwhelming number of MBPs are willing to receive advice about their health from their child's provider.

Identifying risks and providing interventions at WCVs in between pregnancies promotes not only healthier future pregnancies, but a healthier mother/birth person, child, and family.
