Abstract

Although most NIH fetuses have poor prognosis, it is imperative to attempt to identify the underlying cause to present parents with the best estimate for prognosis and future outcomes. Identification of a disorder with a good prognosis may prevent unnecessary termination of pregnancy and give a chance for therapy. Identification of a disorder with poor prognosis may still provide information that may be unavailable after delivery regarding this and future pregnancies.

Tools for health: the efficacy of a tailored intervention targeted for construction laborers.

OBJECTIVES: Novel approaches to worksite health promotion are needed for high-risk workers who change job sites frequently, and thus may have limited access to worksite health promotion efforts. The objective of this study was to test a behavioral intervention among construction laborers. METHODS: Using a randomized-controlled design, we tested the efficacy of a tailored telephone-delivered and mailed intervention to promote smoking cessation and increased fruit and vegetable consumption (n = 582). RESULTS: At baseline, 40% of control group participants and 45% of intervention group participants reported using any tobacco in the last seven days. At final, 8% of baseline cigarette smokers in the control group had quit, compared to 19% in the intervention group (p = 0.03). In both groups, the mean consumption of fruits and vegetables at baseline was over five servings per day. At final, the intervention group had increased consumption by approximately one and one-half servings, compared to a slight decrease in consumption in the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A tailored intervention can be efficacious in promoting tobacco use cessation and increased fruit and vegetable consumption among construction laborers, a high-risk, mobile workforce.
