| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Pregnancy is a crucial period for a child's physiological and psychological development. Alcohol and tobacco consumption during gestation is a public health concern due to the potential harm to maternal health, fetal development, and infant health. Objective: To identify the prevalence of separate and concomitant use of alcohol and tobacco during pregnancy and associated sociodemographic, obstetric, and clinical factors. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study conducted with 253 postpartum women in a public maternity hospital in Brazil. Alcohol and tobacco use in the last trimester of pregnancy was assessed using the Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Bivariate analyses and multivariate logistic regressions were performed. Results: The prevalence of alcohol use was 17.4%, tobacco use 7.9%, and combined use 4.7%. Alcohol use was associated with a history of abortion [Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) = 3.18] and higher family income. Tobacco use was associated with a higher number of children (aOR = 12.12 for four or more children). Combined use was associated with the absence of a partner (aOR = 4.11) and a previous history of depression (aOR = 3.63). Discussion and conclusion: The results highlight the need for implementing strategic programs for the prevention and control of alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, considering the identified risk factors. Raising awareness among healthcare professionals and creating targeted public policies are essential for promoting healthy pregnancy and ensuring maternal-child well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El uso de alcohol y tabaco en el último trimestre del embarazo fue evaluado mediante el Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Se realizaron análisis bivariados y regresiones logísticas multivariadas. Resultados: La prevalencia del uso de alcohol fue del 17.4%, de tabaco del 7.9%, y del uso combinado del 4.7%. El uso de alcohol se asoció con antecedentes de aborto [Odds ratio ajustado/Razón de momios (aOR) = 3.18] y mayor ingreso familiar. El uso de tabaco se asoció con un mayor número de hijos (aOR = 12.12 para 4 o más hijos). El uso combinado se asoció con la ausencia de pareja (aOR = 4.11) y antecedentes de depresión (aOR = 3.63). Discusión y conclusión: Los resultados destacan la necesidad de implementar programas estratégicos para la prevención y el control del uso de alcohol y tabaco durante la gestación, considerando los factores de riesgo identificados. Es esencial la sensibilización de los profesionales de salud y la creación de políticas públicas orientadas a promover un embarazo saludable y garantizar el bienestar materno-infantil.
