“…This variable was based on the restriction of smoking in areas agreed by the house members to prevent children or non-smokers of the family being exposed to secondhand smoke. This measure has become more popular in the UK during the past 20 years 26 because there are research results that show that such a rule or agreement mitigated the odds of secondhand smoke exposure 18,27 and helped smokers to reduce their amount of cigarettes per day and finally to quit 32 . Besides, the smoking-free rule also minimized the chance of smoking among the youths who were house members, or at least it helped to extend or prolong their smoking trial period 33 .…”

“…Therefore, possible recall bias may have resulted in under-reporting, such as receiving less or light smoke, no strong smell or good scent, or getting used to the smoke smell. Further study is needed using more specific SHS markers to provide a better understanding of SHS exposure at home, such as cotinine levels in non-smoking students 32 . Future studies should have a larger sample and number of strata, and the design effect should be applied to address the issue of the cluster effect of respondents from the same classroom.…”

INTRODUCTION One-third of youths in Thailand will be exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) from family members who are smokers. This research aims to study the prevalence of and factors associated with SHS exposure at home among middle school students in Northern Thailand. METHODS This study used a cross-sectional survey. The sample was 780 middle school students in Northern Thailand. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection and analyses were performed using a chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS Of the respondents, 46.8% reported that they had been exposed to SHS at home. The main SHS sources were from fathers (45.4%), relatives (24.1%), siblings (12.4%), mothers (3.3%), and neighbours and guests (14.8%). The factors associated with SHS exposure at home included: household members who were smokers (OR=7.43; 95% CI: 5.17-10.68; p<0.001), home without a smoke-free rule (OR=3.40; 95% CI: 1.85-6.24; p<0.001), household members who were alcohol drinkers (OR=2.29; 95% CI: 1.59-3.30; p<0.001), and living in homes with ≤3 rooms (OR=1.79; 95% CI: 1.21-2.63; p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS Thai student's exposure to SHS at home is high, especially when household members smoke and they live in a home without a smoke-free rule. Our findings highlight the need for policies and interventions to establish smokefree homes. AFFILIATION

“…To increase the likelihood of success, health communication interventions tend to rely on behavior change theories in order to identify people’s main motivations to engage in recommended health practices. Several behavioral theories are available [ 1 – 7 ] and reviews stress the argument that program practitioners should rely on these theories to design successful preventive or lifestyle interventions [ 5 , 8 , 9 ]. Central to behavior change theories is the claim that health interventions impact behavior through a mechanism of influence: health messages—or any informational intervention for that matter—first, influence peoples’ beliefs, and, subsequently, these beliefs influence attitudes, self-efficacy or intentions, which in turn influence behavior [ 6 ].…”

“…This study applied one major behavior change theory, namely the Reasoned Action Approach [ 4 , 6 , 7 ], first, to identify salient beliefs about walking three times a week for 30 minutes nonstop among patients with hypertension and, second, to measure the relationships among intentions, attitudes, perceived social pressure and perceived behavioral control about this behavior in this population. Overall, as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which are responsible for almost half the deaths resulting from chronic diseases in Latin America and the Caribbean [ 10 ], hypertension constitutes a problem relevant to public health interventions.…”

BackgroundBehavior change theories can identify people’s main motivations to engage in recommended health practices and thus provide better tools to design interventions, particularly human centered design interventions.ObjectivesThis study had two objectives: (a) to identify salient beliefs about walking three times a week for 30 minutes nonstop among patients with hypertension in a low-resource setting and, (b) to measure the relationships among intentions, attitudes, perceived social pressure and perceived behavioral control about this behavior.MethodsFace-to-face interviews with 34 people living with hypertension were conducted in September-October 2011 in Lima, Peru, and data analysis was performed in 2015. The Reasoned Action Approach was used to study the people’s decisions to walk. We elicited people’s salient beliefs and measured the theoretical constructs associated with this behavior.ResultsResults pointed at salient key behavioral, normative and control beliefs. In particular, perceived behavioral control appeared as an important determinant of walking and a small set of control beliefs were identified as potential targets of health communication campaigns, including (not) having someone to walk with, having work or responsibilities, or having no time.ConclusionsThis theory-based study with a focus on end-users provides elements to inform the design of an intervention that would motivate people living with hypertension to walk on a regular basis in low-resource settings.

“…In households with smokers, our results show that households with more than one smoker were at greater risk of parents who disagreed with the PRPCETS question. Home is a one place that THS occurs because people have previously smoked inside [18][19][20] . Our hypothesis is that in households that have many smokers and have children, there is a chance that a smoker smoked in their home or close to home such as by a wall or door.…”

Background: Thirdhand smoke (THS) exposure is linked to lung cancer, asthma, and chronic diseases, especially in children. The parental risk perception of THS exposure in children has rarely been reported. The objective of this study was to test the association between sociodemographic factors and parental risk perceptions of child exposure to thirdhand smoke (PRPCETS) in residential homes with a child or children aged from one to five years old. Methods: This study used secondary data from the Smoke Free Home intervention trial. 336 participants were included and analyzed. PRPCETS was assessed by self-administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to test the factors related to parental risk perception to the harm of thirdhand smoke. Results: The overall prevalence of disagreement that THS might be harmful to children was 22.02% (95% CI: 17.59%, 26.45%). Factors associated with PRPCETS were being over 50-years-old (OR: 2.15; 95%CI: 1.05, 4.41); attending school for more than six years (OR: 2.08; 95%CI: 1.07, 4.08); being unemployed (OR: 6.98; 95% CI, 1.41, 34.71); and the number of smokers in the home ≥2 persons (OR: 2.48; 95%CI: 1.41, 4.36). Conclusions: Our findings show the factors related to PRPCETS as follows; aged over 50, duration of school attendance less than six years, no job status, and having ≥2 smokers in the home. Further studies should investigate parental knowledge of and attitude towards thirdhand smoke exposure.

Abstract: Absent in-home randomized experiments, a quasi-experimental causal inference suggesting that home smoking rules result in lower home smoking levels may be plausible.
