- Description
- The author describes the emphasis public health educators place on individual responsibility, current legal and social assertion of fetal personhood, changing expectations of pregnant and prepregnant women, and the advent of antismoking campaigns. She explores how public health educators discuss the issue of smoking among themselves, how they communicate with pregnant smokers, and how these women in turn understand the risk of fetal harm.
