“…Prior research has found that participants provide more accurate responses if they are asked to recall SHS exposure occurring within the home or personal vehicles 23 . Alternatively, adolescents are less accurate in reporting the duration of exposure 24 . Over-reporting may occur when respondents conflate SHS exposure with thirdhand smoke exposure (i.e.…”

“…Regular SHS exposure during adolescence can affect cardiovascular health into adulthood, potentially through negative effects that SHS has on diet, activity level, and percent body fat 27 . As adolescents grow older, they will gain more autonomy over their exposure to SHS 24 and there is some evidence to suggest that interventions focused on informing adolescents how to avoid SHS exposure may help to reduce SHS exposure 28 . However, by focusing interventions solely on adolescents, who have limited capacity to control their outside environments, we miss out on addressing other potentially relevant causes.…”

INTRODUCTION Adolescents are at increased risk of secondhand smoke exposure (SHS) due to the limited control that they have over social and physical environments. Yet, knowledge regarding determinants of SHS among non-smoking adolescents is limited. This study identifies social and environmental factors associated with SHS among non-smoking adolescents. METHODS To be included, parents and adolescents (aged 11–17 years) of the Adolescents, Place, and Behavior Study had to have completed surveys between March 2019 and May 2020. Adolescents had to have not reported smoking within the past 30 days and provided a saliva sample assayed for cotinine (≤3 ng/mL). A series of stepwise linear regression models were fit to the data to identify social and environmental determinants of SHS, using log-transformed salivary cotinine. RESULTS Of the 105 adolescent and parent dyads included, 90.3% were African American, 26.9% of parents reported smoking, 33.3% resided in multi-unit housing, and 67.7% lived in homes where smoking was not permitted. Significant associations were found between parent tobacco use (β=2.56, SE=0.98, p=0.0082) and residing in multi-unit housing (β=1.72, SE=0.86, p=0.0460) with increased log-transformed cotinine levels among non-smoking adolescents. Adolescent age, gender, and race/ ethnicity, parental education, peer tobacco use, the number of adults and children in the home, average number of days of self-reported SHS within public spaces outside of the home, and home smoking policies were not significantly associated with cotinine. CONCLUSIONS Results emphasize the importance of reducing secondhand smoke exposure by reducing parental smoking and altering exposures within social and home environments. Parental tobacco use and residential setting should be considered when developing interventions to reduce secondhand smoke exposure among non-smoking adolescents.

“…Thus, interventions geared toward parents of children being treated for cancer may have a more pronounced effect on parents with younger children. While it is possible that the results are attributable to methodological confounds (ie, parents of adolescents are unable to reliably estimate change in their child's exposure to SHS), this is unlikely as parents of adolescents have shown to be accurate reporters of their child's SHSe both in the home and in the car (McDermott, Nicholson, & Tyc, 2013). Alternatively, it may be that little change in adolescent exposure was demonstrated because parents have fewer opportunities to effect change in their teen's exposure to SHS.…”

This study examined whether an intervention designed to reduce secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) among children being treated for cancer had effects in the specific setting of a motor vehicle. The parents or guardians (n = 71) of children being treated for cancer were randomized to either a behavioral secondhand smoke (SHS) reduction program or a standard care control group. Parental reports of SHSe were collected over the course of 12 months. Younger children were exposed at baseline more than their older counterparts. The greatest initial declines in car exposure were observed among children ≤5 years old in the intervention group compared with same-aged peers in the control group. After the 3-month time point, the control group showed greater reductions in car exposure in comparison with the intervention group. Interventions that teach parents strategies to manage their smoking while driving in their personal vehicles may produce even greater reductions in child exposure and should be developed. Based on the age-specific results reported here, future studies should account for effects of child age and use setting-specific measures of SHS.

This nationally representative study examined (a) gender and age differences in household secondhand smoke exposure (HSHSE) and (b) associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and HSHSE among non-smoking Korean adolescents. Two subsamples were analysed: males (n = 25,648) and females (n = 30,240). The HSHSE measures were incidence of HSHSE (yes/no) and number of days of HSHSE (1-7 days); the SES measures were parental education, perceived economic status, and family wealth. For the first aim, chi-square test, t-test, and bivariate negative binomial regression analysis were performed; For the second aim, multivariate logistic regression and negative binomial regression analyses were performed. The incidence and number of days of HSHSE were significantly higher among females (32.35% and 3.48 days) than males (26.83% and 3.08 days). The HSHSE incidence was significantly higher among younger adolescents (23.32% to 31.08% of males and 26.58% to 37.03% of females). Lower SES was associated with (a) greater odds of HSHSE (odds ratio: 1.12-1.58 among males and 1.19-1.85 among females) and (b) greater incidence rates of HSHSE (incidence rate ratio: 1.05-1.17 among males and 1.10-1.14 among females). Efforts should be made to decrease HSHSE among adolescents, particularly low-SES youth.
