OBJECTIVE: We explored prenatal care providers' methods for addressing four behavioral risks in their pregnant patients: alcohol use, smoking, drug use, and domestic violence. DESIGN: We used qualitative, purposively sampled, focus group data. SETTING: Groups met in professional focus group settings. PARTICIPANTS: We conducted six focus groups (five with OB/Gyn physicians, one with nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives), with a total of N = 49. MEASUREMENTS: The moderator used a focus group guide with open-ended questions, with probes where appropriate. FINDINGS: Providers' discussions reflected differences in how they approach each risk, including: (1) ambivalence about abstinence messages for alcohol; (2) relative comfort and confidence about assessing smoking and counseling to reduce smoking; (3) disparities across practice settings for toxicology screening for drugs; and (4) discomfort and pessimism with domestic violence. Investigators also analyzed providers' statements for each risk within the framework of the "Five A's" construct (Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist, and Arrange) for evaluating risk behavior interventions. CONCLUSIONS: A comparison of each risk across the Five A's illuminates the gaps between recommended and actual prevention methods and suggests directions for development of interventions and educational efforts.
