Interventions

  • Smoke Free SafeCare — BEHAVIORAL
    SFSC is the systematically braided curriculum which combines both SafeCare and STBO programs, but in a new delivery format. To take full advantage of the home delivery mechanism of SafeCare, the content delivery of STBO has been adapted so that original mailings will be delivered in the SafeCare sessions. STBO has been fully braided into the Health and Safety modules. One of these interventions will be delivered first throughout the course of the study. The Smoke Free SafeCare intervention will involve 25 providers receiving training for the SFSC program. They will each recruit 10 mothers and conduct the SFSC program for each family. Overall, 250 families will receive the SFSC intervention.
  • Standard SafeCare — BEHAVIORAL
    SafeCare is a brief parenting intervention that is highly effective in reducing child maltreatment perpetration and improving behavioral outcomes for CPS-involved parents of young children (0 to 5 years) as the result of child physical abuse or neglect (the two most common forms of substantiated maltreatment). The Standard SafeCare intervention will involve 25 SafeCare providers delivering the SafeCare program as usual. They will each recruit 10 mothers and conduct SafeCare for each family. Overall, 250 families will receive the standard SafeCare.

Study Details

Smoke Free SafeCare (SFSC) is a proposed braided intervention consisting of two evidence-based interventions: Some Things are Better Outside (STBO), aimed at promoting smoke free home rules, and SafeCare, aimed at reducing child maltreatment and improving mother and child outcomes. STBO is effective in creating smoke free homes and reducing second-hand smoke in low-SES (socioeconomic status) households. SafeCare is an effective parent training program that is broadly disseminated in child protective services in the United States. SafeCare is a promising mechanism to effectively increase the reach of STBO to reduce SHS (secondhand smoke) exposure in families with documented high rates of tobacco use and children with cumulative risk for negative health outcomes.

Arms

  • Experimental: Smoke Free SafeCare (SFSC)
    Providers randomized to this group will receive additional SFSC training and will disseminate SFSC program to families who report having a smoker in the home.
  • Active Comparator: Standard SafeCare
    Providers randomized to this group will disseminate the Standard SafeCare program to families who report having a smoker in the home.
