Study Overview
Brief Summary
Comprehensive smoke-free policies have the potential to substantially reduce tobacco-related disparities among populations in subsidized housing. This study fills this gap by identifying approaches to increase the implementation of smoke-free policies in all types of subsidized housing by increasing the voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes and promoting access to smoking cessation services.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
The investigators will build on previous studies, where a smoke-free home intervention to increase voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes in permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless adults was developed and evaluated.
Aim 1: To estimate the effect of our adapted smoke-free home intervention on the primary outcome of residents' voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes and the secondary outcome of biochemically-verified tobacco abstinence at 6-months follow-up.
Aim 2: To determine the cost of our adapted smoke-free home intervention and determine whether it is a cost-effective use of health care resources.
Aim 3: To evaluate variation in stakeholders' perspectives on the adapted smoke-free home intervention's adaptability, scalability and sustainability.The proposed intervention can expand access to smoke-free policies and smoking cessation services in subsidized housing, thereby reducing racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco use, tobacco exposure and chronic disease in these populations.
