The aim is to systematically review the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions targeting couples or households during pregnancy.
Searched 8 databases for randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies.
Included interventions aimed at couples who are tobacco smokers during pregnancy.
Narratively synthesized data without meta-analysis due to heterogeneity.
Included six studies: 4 randomized controlled trials, 1 non-randomized study, and 1 before-and-after study.
Interventions varied widely in content; only one study compared targeting couples versus women alone.
Two RCTs and one non-randomized study showed positive effects on smoking cessation for women compared to usual care.
