Predicting home smoking restrictions among african american light smokers. [Journal Article]
Am J Health Behav 2010 Jan-Feb; 34(1):110-8.
Objective: To determine home smoking restrictions (HSR) predictors among African American light smokers (smoke <10 cigarettes per day).
Methods: Data were obtained from a clinical trial testing the efficacy of nicotine gum and counseling among 755 African American light smokers.
Results: Forty percent reported adopting HSR at week 26. Implementing HSR increased with higher baseline confidence to quit (P <0.0001) and female gender (P = 0.019) and decreased with older age (P = 0.016) and reduced confidence to quit between baseline and week 26 (P <0.0001).
Conclusions: Confidence to quit, gender, and age are important factors to incorporate into interventions enhancing the adoption of HSR.
