Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Main objectives of the study are, ultimately, smoking cessation (or reduction),<br /><br>stress reduction, and higher self-perceived health among women with a lower<br /><br>educational level and/or low SES.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

<p>Secondary objectives are a greater self-regulation and resilience with regard<br /><br>to smoking, a sense of control in stressful situations, increased awareness of<br /><br>responsibility for the child's health, better child attachment, and (enhanced)<br /><br>intrinsic motivation to maintain behavioral change. We expect participants to<br /><br>find the intervention attractive and easy to use, and attractiveness and user<br /><br>friendliness to be positively associated with participant motivation to use HRV<br /><br>biofeedback.</p><br>
