Official title
Assessing the Effectiveness of a Smoke-Free Home Program in Tribal Communities
Overview
This clinical trial evaluates a smoke-free home intervention for reducing exposure to secondhand smoke from commercial tobacco in homes of participants who live in rural tribal communities. Smoke-free homes are an innovative and relatively untapped strategy for cancer prevention in rural tribal communities. Smoke-free policies, including those that target homes, can reduce exposure to secondhand smoke and support smoking cessation. Rural and racial/ethnic inequities intersect to increase tobacco-related harms among Indigenous populations. A smoke-free home program may improve the health of the household as well as impact smoking behavior among the family unit by reducing secondhand smoke exposure.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the effectiveness of a smoke-free homes intervention for tribal communities.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Participants receive the smoke-free home program, consisting of mailed educational information about smoke-free homes at enrollment and in weeks 4 and 6, and attend one coaching call in week 2.
