评估维多利亚吸烟者和非吸烟者的程度,澳大利亚试图让他们的家园无烟,并确定是否比例的人试图这样做已经改变了随着时间的推移。方法面对面的调查进行了维多利亚每年从1989年至1997年。内裤,大约2500随机选择的成年人每年。主要结果措施-不鼓励来访者吸烟的答复者比例;总是在自己家外面吸烟的吸烟者比例;吸烟者在儿童周围的行为。结果-有关不鼓励旅客吸烟的报告,由1989年的27%上升至1997年的53%。经常在户外吸烟的人从1995年的20%上升到1997年的28%。在儿童面前不吸烟的比例从1989年的14%上升到1996年的33%。室内限制吸烟与家庭中有儿童存在有关,与不吸烟的成年人的存在关系更大。在完全禁止吸烟的地方工作的人更有可能要求他们的访客不要吸烟,而不是那些在允许吸烟的地方工作的人。应进一步鼓励支持和促进这一社会变革的努力。
Objective-To assess the extent to which smokers and non-smokers in Victoria, Australia attempt to keep their homes smoke free and to determine whether the proportion of people attempting to do so has changed over time.Methods-Face to face surveys conducted in Victoria each year from 1989 to 1997.Participants-Approximately 2500 randomly selected adults each year.Main outcome measures-Proportion of respondents who discourage their visitors from smoking; proportion of smokers who always smoke outside their own homes; behaviour of smokers when they are around children. Changes in each of these measures over time.Results-Reports of visitors being discouraged from smoking rose from 27% in 1989 to 53% in 1997. Smokers who reported always smoking outside the home rose from 20% in 1995 to 28% in 1997. Not smoking in the presence of children rose from 14% in 1989 to 33% in 1996. Indoor restrictions on smoking were associated with the presence of children in the household and even more strongly with the presence of non-smoking adults. People who worked in places where smoking was totally banned were more Likely to ask their visitors not to smoke than those who worked where smoking was allowed.Conclusions-The results indicate a strong move towards homes and towards protecting children from smoke. Efforts to support and facilitate this social change should be further encouraged.
