“…Of these, 403 articles concerned topics not relevant to this study, and 18 met the inclusion criteria for this review. 13,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] The trials were conducted in the United States, China, Norway, Scotland, Finland, Italy, and Australia between 1987 and 2010. Forty-seven studies were excluded for the following reasons: quit rates were not reported or were not reported separately for intervention and control groups, or numbers of participants were not reported (24 studies ; the study design was not a controlled trial [11 studies [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] ]), the interventions were not aimed at parents of young children (9 studies [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78] ); the reporting period was less than 1 month (1 study 79 ); a protocol only was reported (1 study 80 ); the report was not in English (1 study 81 ).…”

Parental Smoking Cessation to Protect Young Children:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

et al. 2012

BACKGROUND: Young children can be protected from much of the harm from tobacco smoke exposure if their parents quit smoking. Some researchers encourage parents to quit for their children's benefit, but the evidence for effectiveness of such approaches is mixed. OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the effects of interventions that encourage parental cessation. METHODS: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Controlled trials published before April 2011 that targeted smoking parents of infants or young children, encouraged parents to quit smoking for their children's benefit, and measured parental quit rates were included. Study quality was assessed. Relative risks and risk differences were calculated by using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model. RESULTS: Eighteen trials were included. Interventions took place in hospitals, pediatric clinical settings, well-baby clinics, and family homes. Quit rates averaged 23.1% in the intervention group and 18.4% in the control group. The interventions successfully increased the parental quit rate. Subgroups with significant intervention benefits were children aged 4 to 17 years, interventions whose primary goal was cessation, interventions that offered medications, and interventions with high follow-up rates (>80%). CONCLUSIONS: Interventions to achieve cessation among parents, for the sake of the children, provide a worthwhile addition to the arsenal of cessation approaches, and can help protect vulnerable children from harm due to tobacco smoke exposure. However, most parents do not quit, and additional strategies to protect children are needed.

“…In a study by Greenberg et al, 38 nurses made four 45-minute home visits over a 6-month period to treatment group mothers. Visits included education about ETS and the detrimental health effects, identification of sources of ETS, development of a plan to reduce ETS exposure, and reinforcement for steps taken toward ETS reduction.…”

The Pediatrician's Role in Reducing Tobacco Exposure in Children

et al. 2000

ABSTRACT. Objective. Pediatricians have a unique and important role to play in the prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent tobacco use, the protection of patients from the harmful effects of environmental tobacco smoke, and the encouragement of smoking cessation among parents. However, because recent research indicates that physician training in tobacco dependence is woefully weak and lacks a model for training, this article constructs a useful approach to this problem.Methodology. A comprehensive review of the literature served as the basis for the development of a new model for pediatrician training in tobacco dependence.Results. A comprehensive model is presented for training pediatricians in the areas of reducing infant and child exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, preventing youth smoking initiation, and providing smoking cessation assistance for adolescents and parents.Conclusions. Pediatricians have been called on to play an active role in the antitobacco arena. Because of their unique opportunity to interact with children, adolescents, and parents, pediatricians can and should be antitobacco interventionists. For this to occur, however, additional guidance should be provided to pediatricians during their training to better prepare them to carry out effective assessment and intervention practices.

“…Public education has been used to increase awareness of the dangers of SHSe on health consequences, and legislation has been used for controlling smoking in public places (World Health Organization, 2013). Smoking in the home cannot be prohibited by law, however it has been shown that one way to reduce SHSe is by promotion of a smoke-free home (SFH) (Greenberg et al, 1994). The effectiveness of education programs for a SFH vary depending on the intervention strategy, population, setting, and health conditions of the target population (Gehrman and Hovell, 2003).…”

Background: A school-based smoke free home (SFH) program is useful in empowering the mother and child to reduce secondhand smoke exposure but the effects of pretesting on knowledge and attitude has been largely ignored. We aimed to test whether such a program can be effective in Southern Thailand with an additional assessment of the net effect of the pretest. Materials and Methods: A Solomon four-group design was used. Twelve rural primary schools were assigned to one of the four conditions (each with 3 schools): intervention with and without a pretest, control with and without the same pretest. The intervention was performed in the classroom and home over a period of 1 month. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3 months after the intervention on whether the home was smoke free and related knowledge and attitude. Results: The intervention could lead to a smoke-free home without statistical significance. Attitude, knowledge and self-confidence on creating a smoke-free home, and self-confidence in avoidance of secondhand smoke exposure and persuading smokers to not smoke in their home were significantly improved. No pretest effect was observed. Conclusions: Gain in attitude, knowledge and self-confidence among family members from the brief school-based education should be enhanced by other measures.
