对 242 名患有哮喘的儿童进行了环境烟草烟雾 (ETS) 暴露测量，这些儿童居住在至少有一人吸烟的家庭中。受试者是通过为洛杉矶低收入、医疗服务不足的社区提供服务的诊所、学校、社区机构和医院确定的。对家长进行了有关家庭吸烟行为、儿童 ETS 暴露以及对吸烟的态度和吸烟行为变化的调查。验证措施包括对患有哮喘的儿童进行尿液可替宁检测，以及在受试者家中放置被动空气尼古丁监测仪。总体报告的家庭吸烟和 ETS 暴露水平较低，大量家庭吸烟发生在室外而不是室内。超过 47% 的受访者表示绝对禁止在家吸烟，这些限制与报告的吸烟水平、ETS 暴露以及空气尼古丁和尿液可替宁浓度较低有关。 (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Environmental tobacco.,smoke (ETS) exposure was measured among 242 children with asthma who live in homes where at least one person smokes. Subjects were identified through clinics, schools, community agencies, and hospitals serving low-income, medically underserved communities in Los Angeles. Parents were surveyed about smoking behaviors in the household, children's ETS exposure, and attitudes towards smoking and smoking behavior change. Validation measures included urine cotinine for the child with asthma and passive air nicotine monitors placed in the subjects' homes. Overall reported levels of household smoking and ETS exposure were low, with a significant amount of household smoking taking place outside rather than inside the home. Over 47% of the respondents reported absolute restrictions against smoking in the home, and these restrictions were associated with lower reported levels of smoking, ETS exposure, and air nicotine and urine cotinine concentrations.
