About this study
Official title: Healthy Homes Study: A Protocol for a Place-based Smoke-free Home Intervention in Federally Subsidized Housing
Comprehensive smoke-free policies have the potential to substantially reduce tobacco-related disparities among populations in subsidized housing. This study fills this gap by identifying approaches to increase the implementation of smoke-free policies in all types of subsidized housing by increasing the voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes and promoting access to smoking cessation services.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
The investigators will build on previous studies, where a smoke-free home intervention to increase voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes in permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless adults was developed and evaluated.
Aim 1: To estimate the effect of our adapted smoke-free home intervention on the primary outcome of residents' voluntary adoption of smoke-free homes and the secondary outcome of biochemically-verified tobacco abstinence at 6-months follow-up.
Aim 2: To determine the cost of our adapted smoke-free home intervention and determine whether it is a cost-effective use of health care resources.
Aim 3: To evaluate variation in stakeholders' perspectives on the adapted smoke-free home intervention's adaptability, scalability and sustainability.The proposed intervention can expand access to smoke-free policies and smoking cessation services in subsidized housing, thereby reducing racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco use, tobacco exposure and chronic disease in these populations.
OUTLINE:
A wait-list cluster randomized controlled trial of the adapted smoke-free home intervention compared to usual care among residents from subsidized housing sites in Northern California. Participants from twenty-four subsidized housing sites will be randomized into intervention and waitlist control arms
- Conditions
- Tobacco Dependence, Tobacco Smoking
- Being tested

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Smoke-free home resident interventionBehavioural
Study staff delivered intervention on how to adopt a smoke free home using a pamphlet
Lay Health Worker coachingBehavioural
Brief tobacco cessation coaching by lay health worker housing staff with residents within 2 weeks of the smoke-free home resident intervention, and on a monthly schedule as part of their routine encounters with residents (total 6 sessions).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | The study's investigators will train bilingual study staff to deliver the intervention to residents using a script that matches the content in the smoke-free home intervention pamphlet. The in-person delivery of the intervention and pamphlet will be the primary modes of intervention delivery to residents. The pamphlet will include: (1) the harms of tobacco, e-cigarette use, cannabis use and exposure (secondhand and thirdhand), (2) an exercise to calculate personal cost of tobacco use, (3) benefits of a smoke-free home, (4) skill-building on how to adopt a smoke-free home, and (5) motivational language on smoke-free home adoption. The study staff will qualitatively assess participants' knowledge by prompting questions on the topics covered and will refer participants to lay-health workers (LHWs) for one-on-one coaching. Participants will receive a pledge to designate their homes smoke-free. Receives: Behavioral: Smoke-free home resident intervention; Behavioral: Lay Health Worker coaching |
| Waitlist Control Group | No intervention | The current standard of care does not include any interventions for smoke-free home adoption or referrals to tobacco treatment resources. At the end of the primary endpoint (6 months), control participants will be offered the intervention. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of participants adopting a smoke-free home for ≥90 days
The percentage of participants who reported to adopt a smoke-free home in the past 90 days will be reported
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Percentage of participants with point prevalent abstinence (PPA)
The percentage of participants with carbon dioxide (CO)-verified tobacco abstinence will be reported at the 6 month follow-up visit.
Measured: 6 months
