Smoke Free SafeCare: Establishing a Smoke Free Home in CPS-involved Families

This study is testing a new program called Smoke Free SafeCare (SFSC). SFSC combines two existing programs: SafeCare, which helps reduce child mistreatment and improve family well-being, and Some Things are Better Outside (STBO), which helps families create smoke-free homes. The goal is to see if SFSC can effectively reduce children's exposure to secondhand smoke and lower the risk of child mistreatment in families involved with Child Protective Services (CPS). Researchers will measure how well families adopt smoke-free home rules using questionnaires at the start of the study, and again at 8 and 20 weeks. This study is looking for 268 participants, aged 18 to 89 years, of all genders.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

SafeCare providers in this study must 1) have completed the SafeCare workshop and passed field Certification (9 sessions of SafeCare delivered with fidelity according to the SafeCare Fidelity Checklist); 2) be employed at an accredited SafeCare agency in a target state based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adult smoking data or prior SafeCare research documenting high smoking rates.

Exclusion

SafeCare providers will be excluded if they have planned for significant employment leave, resignation, or promotion during the study period.
We will exclude those who 1) Report that no one smokes in the home; 2) Demonstrate an inability to understand their responsibilities as outlined in the consent form. This will be determined as the research staff verbally go through the consent form with the mothers. If mothers do not understand the consent form and subsequent procedures, they will be excluded.

What this trial measures

  • Smoke Free Home Rules (Questionnaire)This outcome will be assessed at baseline.

    Mothers will answer questions specific to smoke free home rules implemented in their home.

  • Change in Smoke Free Home Rules (Questionnaire)This outcome will be assessed at the 8 week time point.

    Mothers will answer questions specific to smoke free home rules implemented in their home.

  • Change in Smoke Free Home Rules (Questionnaire)This outcome will be assessed at the 20 week time point.

    Mothers will answer questions specific to smoke free home rules implemented in their home.

  • Change in Smoke Free Home Rules (Questionnaire)This outcome will be assessed at the 1 year time point.

    Mothers will answer questions specific to smoke free home rules implemented in their home.

  • Time-Weighted Average Airborne Nicotine - Smoke Free Home ValidationThis outcome will be assessed at the 8-week time point.

    Research staff will place an air nicotine monitor in one room in which the family spends the most time. The monitors, the size of a petri dish, will be labeled and left in place for 7 days. For quality assurance and control, one blank sample per 10 samples will be included, along with duplicate samples collected for 10% of the total sample. Research staff will return to the home after 7 days to collect the monitor. Time-weighted average airborne nicotine will be assayed. The amount of nicotine collected is determined in the laboratory using gas chromatographic analysis. The sensitivity of these devices is sufficient to quantify low levels of passive smoke exposures over a period of a few days. Outcome is reported in micrograms of nicotine per cubed meter.
