The most consistent review evidence is for interventions improving dietary behaviours during pregnancy compared with other behaviours, although the majority of diet reviews prioritised reporting health-related outcomes over behavioural outcomes. Heterogeneity between reported behaviour outcomes limits ability to pool data in meta-analysis and more consistent reporting is needed. Limited data are available for alcohol interventions in pregnancy or interventions in low- or middle-income-countries, which are priority areas for future research.
