International and national frameworks, guidelines, recommendations, and strategies for maternal tobacco prevention and cessation: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT: Tobacco use during and around pregnancy can significantly increase the risk of stillbirth, congenital disabilities, premature birth, and low-weight birth. To establish maternal tobacco prevention and cessation frameworks for primary care and dental providers and to facilitate cross-national learning, this scoping review aims: 1) to analyze the body of literature on maternal tobacco prevention and cessation frameworks, guidelines, recommendations, and strategies at the international and national level; 2) to identify common core elements; and 3) to identify gaps in the literature, and propose future initiatives and policy development directions. A systematic database search based on the JBI methodology and corresponding PRISMA-ScR guidelines will be conducted from January 2015 to August 202
