Study Details

This study evaluates whether the Smokefree Family Living (SFL) intervention improves quit rates (smoking cessation) and exposure to tobacco contamination that stays in items such as, carpets, walls, and furniture, even after the smoke has cleared (third-hand smoke (THS)) among Chinese American smokers and their non-smoking household members. Smoking remains high among Chinese American males with limited ability to speak English. This causes the non-smoking household members to be exposed to THS, which contains many of the same harmful components as smoking and becomes more toxic as it ages. SFL is tailored for Chinese Americans and combines the contents of the Quit Smoking for a Healthy Family (QS) intervention with additional THS education and cleaning strategies. QS focuses on smoking cessation through educational sessions and support. THS education and cleaning strategies provide information on THS and how to clean the home for THS. SFL may help Chinese American smokers and their non-smoking household members learn about the importance of quitting and the dangers of THS, this may improve smoking cessation and reduce THS exposure

Arms

• Experimental: Intervention Development (Focus group + Interview)
  To achieve information gathering and preliminary adaptation design to prepare for the randomized clinical trial, focus groups and individual interviews with 24 participants (6 Chinese current smokers; 6 former smokers who have stopped smoking within the past 2 years; and 12 family/household members living with a current/former smoker) to review the newly developed or updated intervention materials. The Community Advisory Board (CAB) will also be involved in providing input.
• Active Comparator: Arm I: Quit Smoking for a Healthy Family Group (QS)
  Participants attend two QS educational sessions over 45-60 minutes one month apart and receive two follow-up phone calls over 15-30 minutes 1-2 weeks after each session over 6 weeks. Participants also receive a Healthy Family Action Plan as well as a smoking cessation resource guide and set goals on study. Participants then receive THS education and cleaning strategies at 6 months after the initial QS curriculum. Additionally, participants undergo urine sample collection throughout the study and non-smoking family/household members will wear a silicone wristband for 2 days at each assessment.
• Experimental: Arm II: Smokefree Family Living Group (SFL)
  Participants attend two QS educational sessions over 45-60 minutes one month apart and receive two follow-up phone calls over 15-30 minutes 1-2 weeks after each session over 6 weeks. During the second QS educational session, participants receive THS education and cleaning strategies. Participants also receive a Healthy Family Action Plan as well as a smoking cessation resource guide and set goals on study. Additionally, participants undergo urine sample collection throughout the study and non-smoking family/household members will wear a silicone wristband for 2 days at each assessment.
