The Third Year Project of The Associated Factors of Smoking Around School-aged Children and The Intervention Development Using the Theory of Reasoned Action
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop and examine the effects of a parent-child interactive program to decrease the level of children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke(ETS) at home, promote parents' and children's preventing strategy, knowledge of its hazard and attitude against environment tobacco smoke. A clustered randomized controlled trial was administered to school-aged children and their parents. The outcome indicators, children's exposure to ETS at home and increase of strategy to prevent the exposure were measured at baseline, 8 weeks, and 20 weeks. The other outcomes, parents' and children's knowledge of and attitude toward ETS, family's anti-ETS climate and its influence, and children's self efficacy of avoiding ETS were also measured at the same time point.
Conditions: Environmental Tobacco Smoke.
Primary outcome: Change of Children's exposure of environmental tobacco smoke at home as measured by children's urine cotinine level, and questionnaire of parents smoking at home and in the presence of children for the last 7 days reported by parents and their children.; Parent reports Change of strategies for preventing children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at home as measured by developed questionnaire.; Child report change of environmental tobacco smoke avoidance behavior at home as measured by developed questionnaire..
Enrollment: 150 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 150 participants or records.
