ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND-AIM:
To pilot and evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted evidence-based intervention promoting the voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes (SFH) among Spanish households with minors.
METHODS:
Pre-post intervention pilot study (no control group) with a follow-up at 3- and 6-months post-baseline. The pilots will be conducted in Catalonia, Cantabria, and Valencia with expected sample of 45 participants in each region. The intervention consists of four components: three mailings of printed materials and one coaching call, delivered over six weeks. Main study outcomes include feasibility of intervention delivery and of future trial and short-term intervention effectiveness (proportion of households adopting SFH).
RESULTS:
The fieldwork in Cantabria and Valencia is undergoing, while results of the pilot study are available. Among the 45 participants recruited, 28 were people who smoke and 17 were people who do not smoke. At baseline, 42 participants reported having some form of smoking restriction in their homes. Almost all participants with follow-up data (40 out of 41) perceived the recruitment strategy appropriate and rated the intervention materials as useful. At follow-up, 28 participants reported attempts to adopt SFH, and 7 succeeded. Number of days smoking occurred at home and cigarettes smoked per day decreased significantly at follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS:
Implementing the intervention through Associations of Students' Families is feasible in an urban Spanish school setting. The intervention showed promising short-term effectiveness in promoting the adoption of SFHs. If similar results are observed in other regions, the conduct of a larger trial is warranted. Best practices in health promotion and tobacco control among workers, within regional policies and programs
