Promoting Home Smoking Restrictions: Biomarker Feedback to Smoking and Non-Smoking Adults

This study is directed at decreasing home environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) exposure with a novel approach of adoption of home smoking restrictions. This will be done by providing the cohabitating smoker and non-smoker with biomarker feedback documenting exposure to ETS. The intent is to identify an intervention strategy(ies) to reduce ETS exposure.

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Must be at least 18 years of age
  • Cohabitating Non-Smoker (control) and smoker (active)
  • Smoker must test > 6ppm on carbon dioxide (CO) test and non-smoker < 6ppm
  • General good health

Treatment and study plan

Self-help brochure

Other

Self help brochure given at baseline visit.

Biomarker feedback

Other

Biomarker feedback from urine of adult non-smoker in the home.

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of Self-Reported Home Smoking Restrictions - Active Counseling

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    Received self-help brochure and biomarker feedback from urine collected from non-smoking adult in home. Outcome criteria categorized into 3 areas: establishment of a complete ban (defined as no one allowed to smoke anywhere, ever), some restrictions (smoking allowed in some places or some time), and no restrictions (smoking permitted anywhere, no rules).

  2. Comparison of Self-Reported Home Smoking Restrictions - Control Group

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    Received only self-help brochure on home ETS exposure. Outcome criteria categorized into 3 areas: establishment of a complete ban (defined as no one allowed to smoke anywhere, ever), some restrictions (smoking allowed in some places or some time), and no restrictions (smoking permitted anywhere, no rules).
