- Registration Number
- NCT01497158
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Minnesota
- Brief Summary
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.
- Detailed Description
This is a two-group interventional trial targeting cohabitating smokers and non-smokers. Participants will be randomized to the control condition or biomarker feedback group.

Group Intervention Description Active Group Self-help brochure Participants who received self-help brochure regarding environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) exposure in the home and biomarker feedback from the urine of cohabitating adult non-smoker in the home. Control Group Self-help brochure Participants who received only self-help brochure regarding environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) exposure in the home. Active Group Biomarker feedback Participants who received self-help brochure regarding environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) exposure in the home and biomarker feedback from the urine of cohabitating adult non-smoker in the home.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of Self-Reported Home Smoking Restrictions - Active Counseling 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).
