Improving Household Air Quality in Homes With Children

Innovation for Smoke-Free Homes: Real-Time Feedback

The purpose of this study is to determine if real-time feedback (lights/sounds) from small smoke particle monitors and brief coaching will encourage parents to reduce young children's secondhand tobacco smoke exposure in their home.

The purpose of this efficacy study is to test whether children's home secondhand tobacco smoke exposure (measured by cotinine & nicotine assays, fine particulates and reports of smoking in the home and/or home smoking bans) can be reduced by using custom particle monitors to provide real-time feedback to household residents plus brief advice/praise.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Families with at least one parent or guardian (18 years of age or older),
• Household resident who smokes tobacco,
• Child under fourteen years old exposed to tobacco smoking in the home
• Plans to live in San Diego County for at least three months.
