Project Background
Pregnancy outcomes are influenced by various factors, and understanding these factors is crucial
for promoting maternal and fetal health. This research aims to investigate the associations
between maternal smoking during pregnancy and birth outcomes, with a particular focus on the
role of rurality. Two key studies provide valuable insights into this topic: Bailey and Cole's
(2009) exploration of rurality and birth outcomes in southern Appalachia, and Brand et al.'s
(2019) investigation into the longitudinal fetal growth based on maternal smoking habits.
Purpose of the Study
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between maternal smoking
during pregnancy, rurality, and birth outcomes. By leveraging findings from Bailey and Cole
(2009) and Brand et al. (2019), the aim is to discern patterns, associations, and potential causal
relationships. This study seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on factors
18
influencing birth outcomes, with a specific focus on the role of smoking and the context of
rurality.
Context of the Problem, Challenge, Opportunity, or Issue
The problem addressed in this research stems from the need to comprehensively understand the
impact of maternal smoking during pregnancy on birth outcomes, especially in rural areas. The
challenge lies in untangling the complex interplay between rurality, smoking habits, and fetal
development. The opportunity is to identify potential interventions or strategies to improve birth
outcomes in these contexts.
Objectives of the Study
1.
To assess the associations between maternal smoking during pregnancy and birth
outcomes.
2.
To investigate the potential role of rurality in shaping these associations.
3.
To analyze the broader implications of the findings for maternal and child health
interventions.
Limitations of the Study
This study acknowledges several limitations, including the reliance on existing research,
potential biases in the selected studies, and the generalizability of findings to other geographical
areas. The absence of real-time data collection and potential confounding variables may also
impact the study's outcomes.
Assumptions of the Study

19
The study assumes that the selected studies accurately represent the relationships between
maternal smoking, rurality, and birth outcomes. It also assumes that any limitations in the
original studies do not significantly compromise the validity of the synthesized findings.
Significance of the Study
The goals of this study encompass challenging existing interpretations and judgments
surrounding mothers who smoke during pregnancy, particularly in relation to birth weight
outcomes. The primary objectives include:
1.
To investigate whether maternal smoking during pregnancy significantly affects the birth
weight of infants, challenging the common assumption of low birth weight or prematurity
associated with smoking.
2.
To explore the factors influencing the perception and beliefs surrounding mothers who
choose to smoke during pregnancy.
3.
To measure the significance of maternal smoking during pregnancy on birth outcomes,
particularly in terms of prematurity and low birth weight.
Significance of the Topic to the Writer
The writer acknowledges a personal connection to the topic, either through personal experiences
or having family and friends who chose to smoke during pregnancy. The study aims to provide a
nuanced understanding of the impact of smoking on birth outcomes, challenging stereotypes and
assumptions. Specifically:
1.
To address the writer's interest in dispelling common misconceptions and stereotypes
associated with smoking during pregnancy.
20
2.
To investigate whether the typical expectations regarding birth outcomes for infants born
to smoking mothers hold true.
Significance of the Topic to Stakeholders
Stakeholders, including parents, medical providers, Child Protective Services, and the
government, are invested in the health of mothers during pregnancy and the well-being of
newborns. The study's significance to stakeholders involves:
1.
Providing insights into the health implications of maternal smoking during pregnancy,
aiding medical professionals in offering appropriate care.
2.
Assisting Child Protective Services in understanding the potential environmental impacts
on the unborn child and planning interventions accordingly.
3.
Guiding government policies by highlighting the importance of maternal health during
pregnancy and its impact on overall child health.
Broader Implications of the Topic
Industry Implications
Research on smoking during pregnancy holds implications for various industries:
1.
Healthcare industry: Emphasizes the need for careful and supportive treatment for
expectant mothers, considering the potential impact of smoking on birth outcomes.
2.
Political consequences: A lack of efficiency and effectiveness in addressing maternal
smoking may result in increased low birth weight and preterm births.

INFORMATION and LITERATURE REVIEW
Brief Summary of the Literature on the Subject
The literature review incorporates sources such as March of Dimes, emphasizing the importance of maternal and infant health. Additionally, a study conducted in 2004 on 1,000 random births in North Carolina is referenced to analyze the habits and practices of expecting mothers and their children, specifically focusing on low birth weight.
Systematic Review of the Literature
The systematic review involves an examination of 1,000 random births in North Carolina, emphasizing the analysis of factors contributing to low birth weight. The study considers various
variables, including parental ages, gestation weeks, marital status, maternal weight gain, baby's gender, maternal habits, and maternal race.
Thematic Findings in Literature as Applied to the Topic
Themes in the literature highlight the alarming rate of low birth weight babies entering the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the potential loss of bonding time for parents and infants. The study aims to contribute to preventing such instances by researching the causes of low birth weight.
Key Definitions
Key definitions include "Low Birth Weight (LBW)" for infants born under 5 pounds and 8 ounces and the keywords "Maturity" and "Habit" representing the mother's age at birth and the mother's smoking status, respectively.

Ethical Considerations from the Literature Review
The three key sources drawn upon in this research, namely March of Dimes, the 2004 study on
1,000 random births in North Carolina, and the Virtuous Business Model, contribute
significantly to shaping the ethical considerations guiding this study. March of Dimes provides
foundational insights into maternal and infant health, emphasizing the ethical imperative of
safeguarding the well-being of both mothers and newborns. The 2004 study in North Carolina
serves as a valuable ethical reference, underscoring the importance of respecting and interpreting
the habits and practices of expecting mothers in a way that acknowledges their vulnerability and
fosters understanding. By grounding our research in these ethical foundations, we strive to
ensure the integrity and sensitivity of our study, upholding principles of beneficence and justice.
Furthermore, the Virtuous Business Model, which emphasizes ethical and responsible business
practices, finds relevance in our research context. The model aligns with the ethical
considerations of our study by advocating for a holistic approach that takes into account the well-
being of all stakeholders involved. Applying this model to our research, we aspire to conduct our
investigation with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to the welfare of the individuals
involved. The Virtuous Business Model aligns with biblical principles of ethical conduct,
providing a framework that resonates with our endeavor to explore the impact of maternal
smoking during pregnancy on birth outcomes, considering both the individual and societal
dimensions.
Applying a biblical framework to our research, we find guidance in Proverbs 31:8-9, which
encourages advocating for the rights of the vulnerable: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for
themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of
the poor and needy." This scriptural reference underscores the ethical responsibility inherent in
our study to shed light on the potential challenges faced by infants born under certain conditions,

advocating for their well-being. Additionally, Matthew 22:39 reminds us of the fundamental
principle of treating others with love and compassion: "Love your neighbor as yourself." This
scriptural guideline reinforces the ethical considerations of our research, urging us to approach
the study with empathy and a commitment to understanding the experiences of mothers and their
newborns.

Research Question: How does the frequency of prenatal visits influence the birth weight of infants, and what is the nature of the relationship between the number of visits and birth weight based on the provided data?
The R-squared value of 0.0182 indicates that the linear regression model explains only a very small proportion (1.82%) of the variance in the birth weight of infants based on the number of prenatal visits. In other words, the model does not provide a strong fit to the data, suggesting that
the relationship between the number of visits and birth weight is weak.
When interpreting an R-squared value, keep in mind that a higher R-squared value (closer to 1) indicates a better fit, while a lower value suggests that the model does not explain much of the variability in the dependent variable.

Interpretation of Regression Output:
1.
Regression Coefficients:
o
Intercept:
The intercept (6.4992) represents the estimated birth weight when the
number of prenatal visits is 0 (which might not have a practical interpretation in
this context).
o
X Variable 1 (Number of Prenatal Visits):
The coefficient (0.0508) indicates
the average change in birth weight associated with a one-unit change in the
number of prenatal visits.
2.
Regression Statistics:
o
R Square:
The R Square value (0.0182) represents the proportion of variability in
birth weight explained by the number of prenatal visits. In this case, it's a very
low percentage, suggesting that the number of prenatal visits alone explains a
small part of the variation in birth weight.
3.
ANOVA:
o
The ANOVA table tests the overall significance of the regression model.
o
The F-statistic (18.3310) tests whether there is a significant linear relationship
between the number of prenatal visits and birth weight.

o
The associated p-value (2.03754E-05) is less than 0.05, suggesting that the overall
model is statistically significant.
4.
Coefficients Table:
o
The coefficient for the number of prenatal visits is 0.0508.
o
The associated t-statistic (4.2815) tests whether the coefficient is significantly
different from zero.
o
The p-value (2.03754E-05) is less than 0.05, indicating that the number of
prenatal visits is a statistically significant predictor of birth weight.
Hypothesis Testing:
Null Hypothesis (H0):
The mean number of prenatal visits has no significant effect on
birth weight.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1):
The mean number of prenatal visits has a significant
effect on birth weight.
Conclusion:
The p-value for the coefficient of the number of prenatal visits is 2.03754E-05, which is
less than 0.05. Therefore, you reject the null hypothesis.
There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the number of prenatal visits has a statistically
significant impact on birth weight.
This implies that, on average, there is a significant relationship between the number of prenatal
visits and birth weight, and the direction of the relationship is positive (as indicated by the
positive coefficient
