| Popis: | Background: More information is needed about modifiable child tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) patterns in racially diverse parental smokers to tailor interventions designed to help parents quit smoking and reduce their child’s TSE. Our objectives were to determine whether there were differences in smoking and TSE patterns based on parental race and child age and whether these patterns differed based on child age within black and white parental smokers. Secondary objectives were to assess the relationship between parental perceptions about the effects of smoking and the benefits of quitting on their child based on child age, race, and reported TSE patterns and to examine biochemically verified TSE levels by child age, race, and parent-reported TSE patterns. Methods: Participants (N = 415) were non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white parental smokers, mean age (standard deviation [SD]) = 31.2 (7.2) years, who visited the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) or Urgent Care (UC) with their child, mean age (SD) = 4.7 (4.6) years. Parents reported sociodemographics, smoking, and child TSE patterns. We conducted chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and general linear regression models to answer our primary objectives and linear regression models to answer our secondary objectives. Results: Parents were 56.1% non-Hispanic black; 87.5% women; mean (SD) number of cigarettes smoked/day was 10.5(6.8). A higher proportion of parents with younger children |
